After the first test drives on the new Olympic track in Beijing, double Olympic champion Francesco Friedrich was enthusiastic. "A track that is looking for its equal, impressive and at the same time structurally huge that it finds no comparison," wrote the record world champion on Wednesday on the Facebook page of his bobsleigh team. "16 curves over a length of almost 1.9 km meander gently through the mountains of the Xiaohaituo Mountains like a Chinese dragon, only to arrive at the finish line after a difference in altitude of 127 meters."
Beijing - According to Friedrich, a new “superlative” has been created with the train in China.
Because the track for bobsleigh, tobogganing and skeleton is completely covered for the first time.
"In the middle of the Xiaohaituo Mountains, it is a highlight for both driving and tourism," said Friedrich, who is again aiming for a double at the Winter Olympics from February 4 to 20, 2022.
