Sledding in Winterberg
Hannah Prock wins her second World Cup victory!
Luge athlete Hannah Prock has struck again in Winterberg, celebrating her second victory in the Luge World Cup!
The 25-year-old Tyrolean won on Saturday with the fastest time in both runs, finishing 0.087 seconds ahead of world champion Julia Taubitz. Prock also regained the yellow jersey as overall leader, two points ahead of the German defending champion. Her compatriot Lisa Schulte finished fourth, 0.430 seconds behind.
"The luge was fun!"
Prock had already impressed on the track in Germany's Hochsauerland region at the beginning of December, when the World Cup made its first stop of the season in Winterberg. Thirty-four days after her first World Cup victory on December 7, the daughter of ÖRV Association President Markus Prock repeated her success on the same track. "I was a little nervous at the beginning of the training week, but then I calmed down," explained Prock. "Today I was relaxed, the luge was fun."
Her father won the overall World Cup ten times in his career and won a total of three Olympic medals: silver in 1992 and 1994 and bronze in 2002. In her current form, Hannah Prock can also hope for a medal at the Winter Olympics in Cortina in a month's time. Former world champion Schulte improved by one position to fourth in the second run. Her compatriot Dorothea Schwarz fell back to twelfth place, Barbara Allmaier to 16th.
