From Lake Placid, USA
In years past, Lake Placid has been one of the tracks where Martins Dukurs wasn’t a sure thing. Over the past few seasons, when he’s found his way to the top of the podium, it hasn’t been easy. He fixed that problem today, with two dominating runs to stay perfect on the season. The Latvian was the fastest in both runs, finishing almost a half-second ahead of the competition.
Sunbgin Yun scored another medal, this time silver, while also setting a new start record. The Korean has yet to strike gold, but with the way he’s sliding, it seems as though it’s only a matter of time. Tomass Dukurs finished in the bronze position, making it a Latvia 1-3.
Axel Jungk had a strong second run, leapfrogging two Americans and a Brit in the process of moving from seventh to fourth, while Matt Antoine and Kyle Brown of the United States rounded out the top six.
Dom Parsons finished seventh for Great Britain, while Dave Greszczyszyn moved up from 15th to tenth on the strenght of a sixth-fastest second run. Greszczyszyn’s Canadian teammate, Barrett Martineau, finished 12th.
John Farrow led the way for Australia in 17th, with teammate Dean Timmings finishing 25th. Spanish slider Ander Mirambell finished 18th.
