Francesco Friedrich became the most successful male pilot in the history of the bobsleigh World Championships with two-man gold in Altenberg.

The German romped home by two seconds on home ice to win his tenth individual world title, his seventh in the two-man event.

His compatriot Johannes Lochner repeated his silver medal from 2020 alongside Eric Franke, 2.05s behind the winners. It is Lochner's fourth silver medal at the World Championships.
