Francesco Friedrich of Germany is now the most decorated driver in the history of bobsledding's world championships, winning his record-setting 10th gold medal on Sunday.

Friedrich and brakeman Thorsten Margis finished off an easy win in the 2-man event, completing their four runs in three minutes, 40.44 seconds. That was 1.65 seconds faster than silver medallists Johannes Lochner and Christopher Weber of Germany — and represented the biggest winning margin at a world title race in bobsled in 12 years.

Latvia got the bronze, with Oskars Kibermanis and Matiss Miknis finishing 1.79 seconds behind Friedrich.

"Franz is racing in a whole other league," German driver Nico Walther said.

Friedrich now has won the two-man world title six consecutive times. He's a two-time world champion in four-man and has two other golds from overall team events. Before Sunday, he was tied with Italian pilot Eugenio Monti for the most world bobsled gold medals; Monti won nine in the 1950s and 1960s.

Canada's Justin Kripps and Cam Stones continued to misfire; ending up 11th with a combined time of 3:43.18.

Worlds continue next weekend with championships in men's skeleton, women's skeleton and four-man events.
