Austria’s team of coaches again complete
Innsbruck (pps) Austria’s team of coaches responsible for the World Cup squad next season is again complete. Christian Eigentler will succeed Robert Manzenreiter who will become track chief in Innsbruck-Igls. Most recently, the 29-year-old Eigentler took care of the young luge talents within Austria’s Luge Federation, ÖRV, and accompanied Miriam Kastlunger to earn a gold medal at the Youth Olympic Games.
The remaining coaches’ positions remain unchanged: Apart from René Friedl, who will continue to act as head coach, there are Tobias Schiegl (track coach), Philipp Trattner (athletics’ coach) and physiotherapist Martin Birner. Until 2008 Christian Eigentler was an active luger himself; he earned a 9th-place finish at the 2003 FIL Junior World Championships in Koenigssee.
