FIBT World Cup - Men's Skeleton - First Run

From Igls, Austria

A dominating run for Martins Dukurs has left the rest of the field to scramble to find time. The Latvian finishes run 1 as the only slider in the 52 second range, while brother Tomass sits second and Alexander Tretiakov sits third.

American Matthew Antoine is the only Team USA member to make it to round 2, as Kyle Tress was eliminated early and John Daly was disqualified for failing to wear his number bib.
