📺 Re-live ALL the incredible #Paris2024 action: ➡️ oly.ch/P24Replays
The 29-year-old from Oberhof was 0.66 seconds faster than his teammate Axel Jungk after four runs on Friday. These were the first medals for German skeleton pilots in Olympic history. One day after the end of the luge festival with four gold medals, Grotheer went into the final run with a 0.85-second lead over Jungk. The world champion basically just had to drive flawlessly—and he did. Two years after the Thuringian failed to even qualify for the World Cup team, he now celebrated the greatest triumph of his career. His career is unusual enough as it is, because at the age of 15, Grotheer still wanted to become a ski jumper. However, because he became too heavy for that, he switched to the ice track, where he has been competing in the World Cup since 2012.
