Overview

• Francesco Friedrich and his brakeman Alexander Schüller secured victory in the two-man bobsleigh at the World Championships by a razor-thin margin of 0.03 seconds.
• Rival Johannes Lochner, who set track records during the event, finished second for the ninth time in a major competition against Friedrich.
• Friedrich's exceptional driving skill and top speed of 134.7 km/h in the final stretch were key to overcoming a 0.02-second deficit in the last few curves.
• This marks Friedrich's 15th World Championship title, further cementing his status as the most successful bobsleigh pilot in history.
• Attention now shifts to the four-man bobsleigh event next weekend, where Friedrich and Lochner are expected to face off again in a highly anticipated competition.
