Oberhof (pps) „Adrenalin" is the title of the official song for the 40th FIL World Championships in Oberhof performed by the band “Plexic” from Oberhof. According to information from the press office of the Organizing Committee, lyrics and music of the song have been composed especially for the Luge World Championships.

„The song gets under your skin and is at the same time easy to remember", said Bernd Rossmann, head of the organizing committee for the World Championships. What makes the song really special is the fact that three members of the band are active luge athletes. Singer Sascha Benecken (17) interpreted the passionate song, at the same time providing an insight into the emotional experience of a luge athlete sliding down the ice track.

Benecken is a 12th grade student at the Oberhof Sports High School and at the same time a member of Germany’s Junior national team. Fellow band member Robert Fischer (electric guitar) is also part of Germany’s Junior national team. The third luger in the band is Jonas Gutberlet (drums), who is only 12 years old and a member of the luge squad of the German federal state of Thuringia. Other members of the band are Anne Freund (keyboard) and Florian von der Weth (bass). All band members are friends, who make music together in their spare time.
