Germany ensure clean sweep with team triumph

Anja Schneiderheinze and Annika Drazek had won the women's event on Saturday before Francesco Friedrich and Thorsten Margis triumphed in the two-man bob on Sunday morning.

And the German sextet made it three from three hours later as they held off Russia and hosts Austria in the team competition.

Axel Jungk posted the second-fastest time in the men's skeleton, Schneiderheinze and Franziska Bertels then went in the women's bobsled before Tina Hermann gave Germany the lead after the women's skeleton.

And Johannes Lochner and Tino Paasche sealed the win in the concluding leg – the two-man bob – by clocking 51.62 seconds.

Their total time of 3:31.47 minutes meant they finished 0.65 seconds ahead of Russia while Austria were 1.46 seconds off the pace, although that was enough to take bronze.
