YANQING, China : The performance of Germany's Johannes Ludwig was as ice cool as the track he sped down during the first two rounds of the Olympic men's singles luge on Saturday, though Austria's Wolfgang Kindl was close behind ahead of the finale on Sunday.
His overall time for the first two runs was 1:54.501, putting him 0.039 seconds ahead of Kindl, and 0.0304 ahead of Italy's Dominik Fischnaller in third. Kindl, runner-up in the 21/21 overall World Cup standings, is looking set to break his streak of three ninth- place finishes in Olympic competition going back to Vancouver in 2010.
"Today was not my best performance, so tomorrow I will have to do something better, and then maybe everything is possible," Loch said.Several athletes saw their times marred by minor losses of control on the track, with Ukraine's Andriy Mandziy wincing as he picked himself up after a tumble on his first run.
