Johannes Lochner of Germany finishes sweep of season-long men's World Cup
bobsled points titles
ALTENBERG, Germany (AP) --- Johannes Lochner of Germany clinched the World Cup
overall four-man and combined bobsled titles on Sunday, giving him a clean
sweep of the season-long championships in what he says will be his final year
before retirement.
Adam Ammour won the four-man World Cup finale on Sunday, with Lochner second
and Francesco Friedrich third in yet another German sweep.
That finish was more than enough for Lochner --- also the two-man World Cup
points champion this season --- to clinch the four-man and combined titles.
In the two-woman race, Germany's Laura Nolte won to wrap up her fourth
consecutive points title.
Kaillie Humphries Armbruster of the U.S. was second and also was second in the
season-long two-woman standings, her best points-race finish since winning the
World Cup title since 2018. Germany's Kim Kalicki took third in Sunday's season
finale, wrapping up her third-place spot in the points chase.
