At the World Cup, Laura Nolte, Kim Kalicki and Lisa Buckwitz ensure a German triple success in the two -way bob. The competition in Lake Placid had no chance.
Laura Nolte, Kim Kalicki and Lisa Marie Buckwitz ensured a sensational German triple success at the two-man bobsleigh World Cup in Lake Placid on Saturday (15.03.2025). The lead over the competition grew from running to run – after the final fourth run, the fourth -placed Kaillie Armbruster Humphries from the USA had a full 1.530 second behind the gold medalist Nolte.
Nolte, who had already fetched silver in the Monobob, cheered after the final run, clenched the fists and fell into her family. It is her first World Cup title in two -way bobs – a success that she had set for these world championships. In the end, her lead over her German colleague Buckwitz was over half a second (+0.520), and the Bronzemedaille winner Buckwitz was even 1.460 seconds.
German dominance before the competition
The German trio had already dominated in training on Wednesday. Buckwitz, Nolte and Kalicki contested two runs – and they drove to the three top lengths in this order. Kalicki won the third run, which many athletes missed. The expectations have been confirmed: The DSV athletes could not be beaten on Saturday in the two-way bob.
