St. Moritz (RWH) With a season’s track record to her second victory of the season and the overall World Cup lead: skeleton athlete Janine Flock of Austria is the winner of the IBSF World Cup in St. Moritz (SUI). With the best time (1:09.09 minutes) in the second run, the three-time European Champion secured her second victory in the pre-Olympic winter at the Olympia Bobrun St. Moritz-Celerina.
Second place in St. Moritz went to the reigning European Champion Kim Meylemans of Belgium (0.18 seconds back), who celebrated her third podium finish this winter.
