2012/2013 FIBT World Cup – Round 1 – Men’s Skeleton

From Lake Placid, USA

The more things change, the more they stay the same.  While it was close racing in Men’s Skeleton, Martins Dukurs managed to beat out his brother Tomass as Latvia takes 1-2.  The .08 margin of victory is close by Dukurs’s standards, Dukurs continues an amazing streak of only one loss since December of 2010.

It was a great day for the Americans, as John Daly took 4th, Kyle Tress 5th and Matt Antoine 10th.
