Paramonovo (pps) All lugers who will compete in the 43rd European Championships of the International Luge Federation (FIL) will be recorded in the result lists, irrespective if they qualified for the Viessmann Luge World Cup via the Nations Cup or not. The 2012 European Championships will be carried out within the Viessmann Luge World Cup as a so-called “race-in-a-race”. This decision was taken by the FIL Executive Office in December 2011 so that lugers who do not qualify for the World Cup via the Nations Cup will be ranked at the Europeans. Thus, the ranking for those lugers not qualified for the World Cup is now made according to the Nations Cup results.
