FIBT World Cup – Round 2 – Men’s Skelton Results

From La Plagne, France

There’s some kind of gravitational thing going on in Latvia.  Once again the Dukurs family are the athletes to beat, and once again it’s Martins Dukurs taking the gold medal.  Tomass Dukurs rebounds from a “disappointing” bronze last week to take silver, while Alexander Tretiakov from Russia finishes third.  American Matt Antoine finishes fourth, while Michael Douglas was the top Canadian in tenth.
