Berchtesgaden (pps) The SUZUKI Challenge Cup recently held in Innsbruck-Igls will have consequences for the event’s gold and silver medalists, Tatjana Hüfner and Silke Kraushaar-Pielach. The International Luge Federation (FIL) is considering imposing sanctions because both athletes did not attend the awards ceremony. „We cannot accept that organizers, sponsors, spectators as well as those athletes on ranks three and four are affronted in such a way“, commented the FIL Office in Berchtesgaden.

After reviewing reports from Innsbruck-Igls, the FIL will decide on possible sanctions.
At the fourth Viessmann World Cup held subsequently, Hüfner won ahead of Kraushaar-Pielach.
