Second stop for the FIL Junior Luge World Cup on Natural Track in Seiser Alm/Alpe di Siusi (ITA). On the first weekend of 2019 the men's singles was a very close race.


SEIS On the 403 meters long „Compatsch“-track  the juniors showed first-class luge racing. For Daniela Mittermair (ITA) the first win of the season is in the books, she was fastest in both runs, followed by her team-mate Nadine Staffler (ITA) in second position and German Lisa Walch on third place. Walch won the first race in Obdach-Winterleiten a few days ago.


Florian Markt (AUT) celebrated his first "back-to-back" victory, the 19-year-old already won the opening race in Obdach-Winterleiten and was the fastest on the Alpe di Siusi. After the first run Markt was in third position, with a brilliant second run he took the win, with the half-time leader Fabian Achenrainer (AUT) in second position, third place for local hero Florian Haselrieder (ITA). This is exactly the same result as in the first race a few days ago.
