Park City (pps) Italy’s two times Olympic Champions Armin Zöggeler is just one step behind record winners Markus Prock (Austria) and Georg Hackl (Germany). On the Olympic track in Park City, the five times World Champion celebrated his 32nd victory in Viessmann Luge World Cup. At the 3rd stage of the Viessmann Luge World Cup at Calgary (Canada) next week, the Italian is hunting the 33 victories the two veterans won during their careers.
Second place in Park City went to Germany’s David Möller. The 2004 World Champion realized a new start record (2.617 seconds). Stefan Höhener from Switzerland claimed the 3rd place and realized the best Swiss result ever in Luge World Cup. Tony Benshoof from USA moved up from 12th to 9th place in the final result.
Russia’s Albert Demtschenko made a mistake at the start to the second run and fall back to 11th place.

Quotes:

Armin Zöggeler (Olympic Champion 2002 and 2006):
„I saw the mistake of Demtschenko and made a very safe run. Park City is one of my favourite’s tracks, but not the one I love most. This is Cesana. It is one of my goals to equalize record winners Prock and Hackl. “

David Möller (World Champion 2004):
„Second place is certainly more valuable than the start record. It is very important for Germany’s men`s team. Next week the track in Calgary is one of my favourite tracks.”

Stefan Höhener (6th place at 2005 World Championships):
„I’m in a very good shape. I drive always full of risk, even the two crashes in training last week could not stop me. But only with this attitude you can be on top.”
