No surprises in German squad

Berchtesgaden (RWH)  The luge squad announced by the German BSD federation for the pre-Olympic winter season 2016/2017 holds no surprises. On the suggestion of Head Coach Norbert Loch, the BSD Sports Committee has called upon a total of 13 athletes for the A-team, including all medal winners from last winter’s World and European Championships.

The team will be led by current World Champions Natalie Geisenberger, Felix Loch and Tobias Wendl/Tobias Arlt. Appearing for the first time in the A-team are Julia Taublitz, who won gold at both the Junior World Championships and the U23 World Championship, and Robin Geueke/David Gamm, who took fourth place at the World Championships in Winterberg.
