Tatjana Huefner will be back on the luge circuit
Oberhof (pps) Germany’s Dajana Eitberger, Junior World Champion in Oberhof in 2011, will make her World Cup debut in front of a home crowd. Just one week after her 22nd birthday on January 7, 2013, she will thus collect the reward for her fifth place at the German National Championships shortly before Christmas. In the second run Eitberger even clocked the second-best run time, thereby outpacing 2012 European bronze medalist Corinna Martini.
Tatjana Huefner is on Germany’s luge team again. Due to a back injury she missed the national Championships on December 22 as well as the World Cup in Koenigssee on January 5, 2013. Current World Cup leader Natalie Geisenberger, as well as Anke Wischnewski, winner of the season opener in Innsbruck-Igls, complete the German squad in the women’s singles.
The following lugers will compete in the Nation’s Cup on Friday: 2012 Junior World Champion Aileen Frisch, who claimed a third-place finish in Koenigssee, 2010 Junior World Champion Carina Schwab, who earned a second place at her season’s debut in Koenigssee, as well as Martini, third at the World Cup in Altenberg.
