After winning in Cortina last month,<\/a> the two-time world champion made it two wins from two races in Lillehammer on Friday.<\/p>\n Weston, who missed pre-season sliding with a thigh injury, finished 0.05 seconds clear of 2022 Olympic silver medalist Axel Jungk of Germany, with South Korea’s Jung Seung-gi third.<\/p>\n The 28-year-old Briton has now won five of the past six races across World Cup and World Championship competition, stretching back to the World Cup meeting in Winterberg<\/a> in January.<\/p>\n “It’s another really good win at a time of the season that I didn’t expect to be challenging for gold medals,” said Weston, who has won the past two overall World Cup titles.<\/p>\n “It was a really tough summer with the injury, and I’m still not fully fit, so to have won the first two races is a big boost in what we all know is a huge season.<\/p>\n “We’ve got a big week ahead now with the double header in Sigulda, but I feel like I’m heading towards Christmas in a really good place.”<\/p>\n Team-mate Marcus Wyatt finished seventh in Norway while Jacob Salisbury was 14th.<\/p>\n The circuit continues with a double race week in Sigulda, Latvia, next Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n There are then three more rounds in 2026 before the Winter Olympics take place in Milan and Cortina from 6-22 February.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
