Overview
- Adam Ammour climbed from third after the first run to take victory by two hundredths over Johannes Lochner in the final pre-Olympic race.
- Lochner led at halfway but a late error in his farewell World Cup start left him second in Altenberg.
- Ammour, 24, logged his second straight World Cup win, reinforcing his medal credentials for the Cortina Games.
- Despite the narrow defeat, Lochner had already wrapped up the overall World Cup titles in two-man and four-man after a nine-win season and will target Olympic gold before retiring.
- Four-time Olympic champion Francesco Friedrich finished third and completed his first season in eight years without an overall World Cup crown, saying he plans to strike back at the Olympics.
