The German team relay won gold at the end of the luge world championships in Oberhof thanks to a strong run by the doubles Toni Eggert/Sascha Benecken.
Anna Berreiter, Max Langenhan and Eggert/Benecken won in a total time of 2:22.266 minutes, just ahead of the Austrian team (+0.023 seconds). Third was Latvia, with a clear gap of four tenths.
Meanwhile, Felix Loch has missed out on the world championship title in the single-seater. When the Austrian Jonas Müller (1:25.478 minutes) won in the single-seater, the man from Berchtesgaden only finished fourth (+0.145). Teammate Langenhan (BRC Friedrichroda/+0.104) won the silver medal. Third was Müller’s teammate David Gleirscher (+0.121).
This meant that for the first time no German luger was on top of the podium on the last day of the World Championships. On Friday, the 33-year-old Loch triumphed as he raced to his 14th world title in the sprint race. Langenhan (23) finished third.
