From Altenberg, GER

Results from the fifth IBSF European Cup two-man race, held December 16, 2016.

Richard Oelsner took gold, edging Latvian Oskars Kibermanis by .02. The German came into the second run with a sizeable advantage, but only could muster the fifth best run of the second heat. It was just enough to stay ahead of Kibermanis, though, while Oelsner’s teammate Christoph Hafer finished third.
