From the 1998/1999 season to the end of his career after the 2000/2001 season , Braunegger formed a successful two-seater pair with Peter Lechner , nine years older than him , who had previously started with Martin Schneebauer. Lechner / Braunegger were not worse than fifth in any of these three World Cup years, were eight times among the fastest three and celebrated two World Cup victories on January 16, 2000 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen and on January 7, 2001 in Unterammergau . In all three years they achieved third place in the overall double-seater World Cup. They won a total of three medals in international championships. At the European Championships in 1999 in Szczyrk they came second behind Helmut and Andi Ruetz , only at the 2000 World Championships in Olang they just missed the podium in fourth. At the 2001 World Cup in Stein an der Enns , Lechner / Braunegger achieved third place in the doubles and, together with Marlies Wagner and Gerhard Pilz, came second in the team competition, which was held for the first time. After the winter of 2000/2001, both Peter Braunegger and Peter Lechner ended their careers.
