Innsbruck-Igls (pps) It comes as no surprise: World and defending World Cup champion Germany claimed the victory in the Team Relay Event. At the season-opener of the Viessmann Luge World Cup series in Innsbruck-Igls, the German quartet with Anke Wischnewski, David Moeller and Tobias Wendl-Tobias Arlt took the top spot on the podium ahead of last year’s winner Canada with Alex Gough on the team. Italy with Sandra Gasparini, Dominik Fischnaller and Christian Oberstolz-Patrick Gruber earned a third-place finish.

A total of 13 nations competed in the Team Relay Event that will celebrate its Olympic première at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia
