Skeleton:
IBSF World Cup Winterberg
Men
This World Cup was held concurrently with the European Championships which Martins Dukurs (LVA) had won for 12 consecutive times.
Alexander Tretuakov (RUS) threatened with taking gold from the first run, going first, and in the second run he was also fastest, to surprise and take gold.
He went so fast that in the last turn he elevated so high in the wall that it almost looked as if he would roll over. Maybe that is what was needed for someone to beat Dukurs, with who Tretiakov tied a World Cup gold a month ago.
Dukurs took the silver over Gasner (DEU) and Kessinger (DEU). North American sliders competed this time but they were not in the top 10.
