In Lake Placid

Treichl ninth in two-man bobsleigh at World Cup final

Markus Treichl finished ninth in the two-man bobsleigh event at the World Cup final in Lake Placid on Friday together with pusher Markus Sammer.

German Francesco Friedrich took the win. Jakob Mandlbauer/Daiyehan Nichols-Bardi were eliminated in the second run. Katrin Beierl was only 14th out of 17 participants in the last monobob race. Bree Walker celebrated the first World Cup victory for an Australian, and did so in style with a track record.

The crystal globes went to Friedrich and Lisa Buckwitz from Germany. Treichl finished ninth overall, Beierl eleventh.
