Luge FIL World Championships 2021

Following a shock defeat to Kocher in 2016, Geisenberger once again flopped in Konigssee sprint.

 

Never winning a sprint title on her home course will surely leave a bitter taste.

Yes, she will certainly cry herself to sleep for the rest of her life. Not sure how much athletes like Geisenberger or Loch care about such a „gimmick“ event (anymore).

Someone as competitive as her? Absolutely.

German doubles faster than anyone by 0.2s after just 10 seconds?

 

Yeah, okay.

starting 1-2-3 and finishing 1-2-3...

 

typical race on the German tracks...

 

Nagler&Malleier's result is basically a miracle, considered their starting number...

Horrible crash for the Romanians: they walk away, luckily,

Sics/Sics are 3rd despite crashing!

 

Shades got pulled down after sled #5. WTF, why was it not done before the start??

 

Quite possible someone cranked down the refrigiration.

Shameful performances of the last few starters.

knowing our German friends of Luge, it's almost sure they did it...

Let's just say the mathematical odds of Germans being drawn 1st and 2nd were at an astonishing 48 to 720 (roughly 6-7%).
