Calgary (FIL) In 2012, the bobsleigh and luge track in Altenberg (GER) will be the venue of the 43rd World Championships Artificial Track of the International Luge Federation (FIL). This was decided at the 56th FIL Congress in Calgary, Canada. The future Olympic track in Whistler Mountains for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada, had previously withdrawn its bid. Altenberg already hosted Luge World Championships in 1996 in addition to being venue of the 1991, 2000 and 2008 bobsleigh and skeleton World Championships. The facility was built in the eighties and was recently extensively renovated for approximately four million Euros.
