The first win of the season should be on the natural ice rink in the Engadine.
«The railway cannot be compared to any other in the world.
It really is the case that you hardly hear the sledging because the ice is so gentle, ”said Olympic runner-up Jacqueline Lölling.
World champion Tina Hermann wants to finish first: “Of course I would like to win again in St. Moritz, but we have huge competition.
Six to eight can really win. "
The men around world champion Christopher Grotheer are still waiting for their first World Cup victory this winter.
