Lake Placid (RWH) The team relay organised by the International Luge Federation (FIL) is celebrating its silver anniversary. The international federation’s latest Olympic discipline can be seen for the 25th time as the Viessmann Team Relay World Cup presented by BMW on the Mount van Hoevenberg artificial track in Lake Placid in the US State of New York. The team relay, whose Olympic debut at Sochi 2014 was well-received across the world, has been on the world cup agenda since the winter of 2010/2011, and was first presented to the world in its current form on the Königssee artificial track on 7 January 2007. Lake Placid is a good place for the silver anniversary: in 1982, the 1932 and 1980 Olympic venue hosted the first ever FIL World Championships to be held outside of Europe, and it was once again host to the championship in 2009. The artificial track on Mount Van Hoevenberg, built for the first and only Goodwill Games held in Lake Placid in 2000, will be showcasing a Viessmann World Cup for the 13th time in 2014.
