Laura Nolte clinched her third win of the season in the two-man bobsleigh on her home track in Winterberg.

After only finishing fourth in the monobob the day before, she raced to the World Cup victory on Sunday in the German triple success with pusher Deborah Levi.

Two-man bobsleigh Olympic champion Mariama Jamanka from BRC Thuringia came in second with Germany's fastest sprinter Alexandra Burghardt and, in addition to her Olympic qualification, booked her first podium this winter.

Wiesbaden's Kim Kalicki landed third with Leonie Fiebig.

Inliner Rijhnen third on ice

Felix Rijhnen from Darmstadt surprisingly took third place in the mass start at the Speed ​​Skating World Cup in Calgary and thus qualified for the Olympic Winter Games in Beijing (February 4th to 20th).

The 31-year-old former inline world champion only had to admit defeat to the Dutchman Bart Hoolwerf and Bart Swings from Belgium after 16 rounds in the Olympic city of 1988.

Rijhnen had already caused a surprise on Friday when he was second in the B final over 5000 m in 6: 12.11 minutes faster than the multiple German champion and record holder Patrick Beckert (6: 12.70).
