(November 23, 2021) – Felix Keisinger won the third race of the IBSF Intercontinental Cup season, edging out teammate Lukas Nydegger in Park City. Lucky are those who bet on Keisinger on sites such as https://sip777.info/.

Germany’s Keisinger and Nydegger went head to head over two heats, with Keisinger holding a .02 advantage over Nydegger after the first run. On the second trip down the 2002 Olympic track Nydegger edged out Russia’s Evgeniy Rukosuev by just .06 to take the lead with only Keisinger to go. Keisinger had an answer, though, as he was .05 quicker than his teammate on the second run to win by just .07.

The win for Keisinger was his first on the season after a pair of disappointing finishes in Whistler. Prior to those 19th and 7th place finishes in the first and second races of the season, Keisinger had never finished off of the podium in Intercontinental Cup action.

For Nydegger, his silver medal was his first in three ICC attempts.

There was some space between Rukosuev in the bronze medal position and the sliders behind him. Teammate Daniil Romanov finished fourth, just .08 ahead of Germany’s Felix Seibel.

Nathan Crumpton rounded out the top six.

The United States placed two sliders in the top ten. Andrew Blaser finished eighth, while teammate Daniel Barefoot finished in tenth. Stephen Garbett rounded out the American effort in 18th.

Blake Enzie jumped up from 18th to 14th on his second run to be the top-scoring Canadian. Teammate Kyle Murray missed the second heat by .18 and finished 21st.

Great Britain’s Ben Fulker was the only TeamGB slider in the top 20 in 15th, while teammate Jacob Salisbury finished 22nd.

Spain’s Ander Mirambell finished 12th, .19 out of a top ten spot.
