Thursday, 17 December 2020
Olympic champion Francesco Friedrich will aim to continue his superb form when the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) World Cup season resumes in Innsbruck this weekend.
The German has won five out of the six two-man races so far this campaign and has finished in either first or second place at his last 26 World Cup events.
Friedrich, the Olympic two and four-man gold medallist at Pyeongchang 2018, leads the overall two-man standings going into the second consecutive World Cup competition in the Austrian city.
The 30-year-old is chasing the overall record for World Cup victories as he has 42 wins, two adrift of the 44 achieved by his compatriot André Lange.
