In training, record world champion Geisenberger had won five out of six runs, and Taubitz had only been faster in a fall in curve 13 in the fifth practice run. Like Taubitz, the 34-year-old, who is a mother at the Olympics for the first time after the birth of her son Leo in 2020, showed a ride without any visible mistakes.
The medals will be awarded on Tuesday (08.02.2022, live on sportschau.de) when the final heats three and four are held.
