Erding (pps) There is double reason to celebrate in the Loch family: Not only World and overall Viessmann Luge World Cup Champion Felix Loch but his father Norbert, head coach of the national German luge team, were awarded the “WinterStars 2012” prize of the Bavarian TV station “Bayerisches Fernsehen”. On the occasion of the traditional TV gala show, this time in Erding, Felix received the award in the men’s category, his father as the best coach. Biathlon record-winner Magdalena Neuner, biathlete Franziska Preuss (juniors) and the German curling team were also honored as “Winter Sports Athletes of the Year“. The award winners were chosen by a jury of winter sports legends, among them three-time Olympic luge Champion Georg Hackl.
