From Königssee, GER
Looking at Felix Loch as he crossed the finish of the 46th FIL World Championships, you wouldn’t think he had already won four of them before the 2016 edition. But Loch had, and that experience and skill took him to yet another World Championship in Königssee, miles ahead of second place teammate Ralf Palik.
The Germans held their own on home ice, taking three of the top five spots. Loch and Palik were the only two sliders in the second run under 50 seconds as snow and rain covered the track, ahead of third place Wolfgang Kindl of Austria, who had the third fastest run in both heats.
Chris Mazdzer just barely missed out on a World Championship medal, with the American finishing fourth. Andi Langenhan finished fifth for Germany, while American Tucker West finished sixth as the highest scoring junior (under 23) in the World Championships.
Mitchel Malyk finished 12th for Canada after coming into the second run in the top ten, while Taylor Morris and Aidan Kelly finished 23rd and 29th for the United States.
