ATHLETICS. Indoor World Championships in Glasgow, Emirates Arena. Final day. Karin Strametz (pictured left), Styrian from the model home of Leibnitz, pushed her personal best time to exactly 8.00 seconds in the semifinals of the 60m hurdles, which meant she came 13th, but missed the final by only five hundredths of a second. With the exception of 60m sprinter Lindner, who was apparently overwhelmed by the magnitude of the moment, like Strametz, all-around athlete Mayr, 400m indoor record holder Gogl-Walli and sprinter Fuchs rose to the task and challenge, which would have deserved the highest recognition and also more media respect. Gogl-Walli’s sixth place in the World Cup was worth a full eight lines in the Sunday sports crown, but the spicy RedBull team boss Horner chat leaks story was a panoramic double page!

The Swedish high-flyer from Pittsburgh (USA), Armand Duplantis, demonstrated once again in Glasgow how well he can handle pressure. After two failed attempts and a threatening somersault nullo, the ET pole vaulter easily mastered the 5.85m on his third attempt and was finally the only one to cross the 6m wall with a jump of 6.05m to win another gold in his growing collection.

Continental Cup, Planica. Austrian triple victory by Aigner ahead of Ortner and Schuster, son of the former German (and Swiss) coach. Landerer (5th) and Wörgötter (10th) also made it into the top 10 of the competition, in which the six-time German world champion Markus Eisenbichler, who is on the comeback trail, took 8th place to be able to classify the domestic success.

Nordic combined, World Cup Lahti, Gundersen, large hill. Former world champion Johannes Lamparter (pictured right) triumphed in the absence of the outstanding Norwegian Jarl Magnus Riiber, ahead of his compatriot Stefan Rettenegger and the Estonian Ilves.

With a lead of 169 points and two slaloms remaining in Kranjska Gora and the final in Saalbach-Hinterglemm, he could close the bag in Slovenia next weekend.

Women’s World Cup in Kvitfjell; Super G (constantly interrupted due to fog): Federica Brignone (I) won ahead of Lara Gut-Behrami (Sz), who was now able to significantly expand her lead over Conny Hütter (7th) in the race for the small ball. Hütter ended up in the “sandwich” between Stephanie Venier (6th) and Ariane Rädler (8th). Furthermore: 21. Gritsch 25. Haaser 28: Wechner 30. Ager.

TOBOGGANING. World Cup final in Sigulda, Latvia: Nico Gleirscher (3rd) in the men’s single-seater secured a podium finish at the end, while the relay missed all chances due to a fall by single-seater world champion Lisa Schulte. Double-seater World Cup winner Wolfi Kindl also fell on the unpopular ice track during a top time for the ÖRV tobogganing stars, who experienced one of the best seasons with a shower of gold and medals. The German head coach Norbert Loch, father of the two-time Olympic champion and multiple world champion Felix Loch (today 2nd behind Fiwickeler, I), left his position with Germany’s 50th World Cup victory.
