The Luge World Cup tour moved to Oberhof, Germany, for two consecutive weekends of competition leading into next month’s Olympic Winter Games.
In the opening World Cup event in Oberhof, three‑time QAS Olympian Alex Ferlazzo delivered one of his strongest Nation’s Cup qualifying performances of the season, securing a spot in the main World Cup field with a fifth‑place finish.
Ferlazzo started the World Cup race with a time of 43.087 seconds, ranking 17th after the first run. He improved in the final run, clocking 42.999 seconds, the 15th‑fastest time of the round. His combined two‑run total of 1:26.086 earned him 17th place overall.
The event was won by Austria’s Jonas Mueller, who finished 1.537 seconds ahead of Ferlazzo with a combined time of 1:24.549.
Luge athletes will remain in Oberhof for the final World Cup event on January 22-24 before the Olympic Winter Games.
