Winterberg (pps) Give a chance to the youth: His victory at the fourth qualifying event in Winterberg at the beginning of November is paying off for Germany’s young talent Julian von Schleinitz. As a reward, the two-time World junior champion will be given a starting place at the second Viessmann Luge World Cup event in Winterberg on December 4-5. Late on Tuesday Germany’s national coach Norbert Loch will announce who will have to take a break in order to make way for the young talent. It will be either Jan Eichhorn (3rd at the 2007 Worlds) or Johannes Ludwig (6th at the 2010 Europeans).
