Hannah Neise shines at the World Cup: Second place in Pyeongchang!

Pyeongchang, Südkorea - The Skeleton Olympic champion Hannah Neise caused a sensation at the World Cup in Pyeongchang (South Korea)! The 24-year-old from BSC Winterberg raced to the impressive second place and only had to give up the British athlete Freya Tarbit. A gripping duel on the 2018 Olympic Railway, which captivated the audience!

Although Neise did not start optimally in both runs, she fought her way back from fourth place after the first round and thus secured the podium. On Saturday, at the first World Cup of the season, she had had to be satisfied with a sixth place. A remarkable climb that demonstrates the determination and talent of the athlete! The Austrian Janine Flock also shone with a third place, while Jacqueline Pfeifer from RSG Hochsauerland took fourth place.

The tension remains high, because the second race of men in Pyeongchang begins at 12 p.m. German time. This year the skeletonis start the season, while BOB athletes will only follow in early December. An exciting winter is imminent!
