ST. MORITZ, Switzerland (AP) — Martins Dukurs rallied in the second heat to pass his brother Tomass Dukurs and win a World Cup skeleton race on Friday, the second straight 1-2 finish for the Latvian siblings.
Martins Dukurs finished two runs down the historic St. Moritz track in 2 minutes, 19.18 seconds for his third win in five races this season. Tomass Dukurs’ final time was 2:19.44.
Matt Antoine of the United States finished in 2:19.87 to take third, his third medal of the season and solidifying his position as a podium favorite for next month’s Sochi Olympics. Antoine matched his bronze showing from the St. Moritz World Cup in 2012.
