2020 Junior World Championships move to Innsbruck

Innsbruck (RWH): Originally due to be held on the new artificial track in Bludenz, the 2020 Junior World Championships will now be taking place in Innsbruck. The move was announced by the CEO of the Austrian Luge Federation (ÖRV), Reinhard Poller, when asked about the event in Innsbruck.

The championships had to be moved to the Olympic track as construction of the track in Vorarlberg has been delayed by another year. The decision to hold the event in Bludenz was passed at the 2016 Congress in Lake Placid (USA) on the condition that a Junior World Cup would be held one year prior to the Junior World Championships. Due to the delays to construction, this requirement can no longer be met either.
