Sigulda (pps) U.S. luger Chris Mazdzer was elected to succeed Jeff Christie of Canada as Athletes' Representative of the International Luge Federation, FIL. The result of the vote was announced by FIL Vice President Harald Steyrer (AUT) during the Viessmann Luge World Cup in Sigulda, Latvia. The vote was required because Christie resigned from his post after having ended his active luge career.
