From Igls, AUT
Germany has many sliding traditions, one of which is dominating the Team Relay competition. The first team relay of the season was nothing short of a prolonged victory lap, as the team of Eitberger, Langenhan, and Eggert & Benecken dominated all three parts of the relay to win easily. The Latvian team of Cauce, Darznieks, and Sics & Sics took silver on the strength of a big run by the doubles team. The Italians finished in the bronze position.
