Skibob aces clean up at the World Championships

From 19 to 23 February 2025, Lenggries was the venue for the Skibob World Championships, which were held under the organization of the Lenggries Ski Club. Thanks to first-class slope preparation and stable weather conditions, the competitions offered ideal conditions for top-class skibob sport.

The World Cup course in particular is in excellent condition, allowing the athletes to compete for the world championship title on technically demanding but fair courses.

Austria and the Czech Republic dominate

In the slalom, giant slalom and super-G, the teams from Austria and the Czech Republic in particular lived up to their role as favorites and took home the majority of the medals.

Marie Anna Huskova (CZE) took the lead in the women’s slalom with a total time of 2:12.88 minutes. Her compatriot Stanislava Preclikova follows in second place, less than a second behind. Austria’s Iris Lienhard completes the podium with a strong third place.
