Mainz (pps) The Viessmann Luge World Cup in Winterberg achieved almost sensational TV ratings on the public German TV channel ZDF. The men’s event generated a market-share of 26.5 percent, a higher percentage than the World Sprint Speed Skating Championships, for instance, on the same day. More than three million people watched Georg Hackl’s victory at Winterberg last Saturday at the top, 2.85 million on average followed the men’s event. On Sunday there were even more viewers, but the market-share was lower: 3.26 million (market-share 17.2%) on average for the doubles, and 2.93 million (15.2%) for the women’s event.
