Skeletonist Chudinov first won the World Cup stage

Russian skeletonist Sergei Chudinov won the first won in his career at the World Cup in American Lake Placide.

According to the results of two races of Friday, our athlete showed the best time - 1 minute 48.51 seconds. Chudinov was only 0.04 seconds ahead of the Latvian Martins Dukurs. The third result was shown by the representative of Great Britain Kristan Bromley, who lost 0.23 seconds to the winner.

It should be noted that the leader of the Russian team in Skeleton, Alexander Tretyakov, representing the Lokomotiv club, took only 13th place.

However, a modest performance did not deprive Tretyakov’s leadership in the overall standings of the World Cup: he and Latvian Martins Dukurs, who scored 635 points, head the skeletonist rating. The 27-year-old Chudinov after Friday success (561 points) rose fifth place.
