From Winterberg, Germany
Much like the two-man bobsled race earlier in the day, it was a huge lead for Germany, and by the fourth run it was academic. The Germany I team anchored by two-man world champion Francesco Friedrich cruised to victory on the strength of solid runs by all four members of their team. Axel Jungk, Cathleen Martini, Tina Hermann and Friedrich all were within the top 3 of each of their heats, winning by .44 over teammates in Germany II. Russia I finishes in bronze.
