Nolte / Levi with Top speed
In the first round, which had to be postponed several times due to persistent snowfall in the Sauerland, Laura Nolte and pusher Deborah Levi set the fastest time in 58.95 seconds – even though Winterberger made a serious driving error on her home track in the lower part. With the second best start time and the Top speed of 125.6 km / h But Nolte / Levi had laid a good basis for their journey.
Kalicki / Fiebig just behind the podium
Kim Kalicki and Leonie Fiebig were 0.54 seconds slower than Nolte. However, the podium is only six hundredths of a second away. The Chinese bobsleigh with Mingming Huai and Xuan Wang (+ 0.44 seconds) are surprisingly second after the first run. In third place are Kaillie Humphries and Sylvia Hoffman from the USA (+ 0.48 seconds)
Jamanka messed up the start – only twelfth place
As in the monobob on Saturday (January 8th, 2022), Olympic champion Mariama Jamanka made too many driving errors and is already well behind in twelfth place before the second run. Jamanka and Alexandra Burghardt rammed into the sidebar before the first bend and it took until the second bend before their ride calmed down. She could no longer compensate for the loss of time in the upper area, with a maximum speed of 124.7 km / h she was just under one km / h slower than Nolte and was 0.90 seconds behind at the finish.
