Munich (pps) The third edition of the International Luge Federation’s (FIL) America-Pacific Championships will be held as a “race in race” in conjunction with the Viessmann Luge World Cup Whistler, Canada (6/7 December 2013).

The title-holders are Julia Clukey, Chris Mazdzer (both USA) and Canadians Tristan Walker/Justin Snith in the doubles.
