The crowning finale: Austria's relay team secures the title

Innsbruck (FIL/14 Jan 2024) As in the men's singles and doubles as well as in the women's singles at the EBERSPAECHER Team Relay World Cup presented by BMW, the Austrians converted their home advantage into a victory on the Olympic track in Innsbruck-Igls. They also became European Champions.

Madeleine Egle, Thomas Steu/Wolfgang Kindl, Jonas Müller and Selina Egle/Lara Kipp were the fastest in 2:52.190 minutes. Of course, there were many red-white-red flags waved at the finish line and the atmosphere among the spectators was great. Austria's head coach Christian Eigentler did not want to be left behind: "Sensational weekend, we are super happy with the results. Overwhelming."

Second place went to Germany with Julia Taubitz, Tobias Wendl/Tobias Arlt, Max Langenhan and Jessica Degenhardt/Cheyenne Rosenthal 0.186 seconds behind.

Third place went to Italy (Verena Hofer, Emanuel Rieder/Simon Kainzwaldner, Dominik Fischnaller, Andrea Vötter/Marion Oberhofer/0.461 seconds back). Behind the USA (0.648) there was already a small gap to the Latvians (1.095). Sixth place went to Ukraine (3.299).
