Francesco Friedrich of Germany achieved a historic milestone by securing his 100th career victory at the IBSF four-man bobsled race in Igls, Austria. The Sunday victory adds to his remarkable record in World Cup competitions, where he has clinched 35 four-man titles and 51 two-man titles; he has won eight two-man and six four-man world championships as well. He has four Olympic golds to his name as well. Friedrich's track success is highlighted by his consistent podium finishes: He has medaled in 142 of 197 World Cup races, and stands unrivaled in the history of bobsledding.
The same weekend in Igls saw Brad Hall of Britain capture the silver medal in the four-man race, while Germany's Johannes Lochner finished third. Meanwhile, Germany dominated the two-woman race with a medal sweep. In a competitive field, the US sled driven by Elana Meyers Taylor and pushed by Jasmine Jones narrowly missed the podium, finishing fourth.
Over in Winterberg, Jonas Mueller of Austria celebrated a double triumph in luge by winning the World Cup men's singles race and contributing to Austria's victory in the team relay event. Mueller edged out Germany's Max Langenhan in singles competition as Nico Gleirscher of Austria completed the podium. The US team took fourth place in the team relay, with Emily Sweeney delivering the fastest split among the women's singles racers. Upcoming events include the World Cup women's monobob at St. Moritz and luge events in Oberhof, with skeleton season finales scheduled in Lillehammer next month.
