A closure of the world championships of luge on natural track, simply triumphal for the blues who greet the event in Umhausen, Austria, with 3 gold medals, 2 silver and 1 bronze collected in just four races.
After the titles between women's singles and doubles with Evelin Lanthaler and Pigneter / Clara, it is the South Tyrolean champion who drags the national team towards the gold trio, dominating the mixed team race with Alex Gruber. Lanthaler and his team-mate even won with a clear margin of 2 seconds over the Austrians Unterberger / Kammerlander and over 3 over the Russians Lavrenteva / Egorov.
Previously, the men's single had seen Italy touch the sensational poker of titles, prevented only by a great champion such as Thomas Kammerlander: the Austrian was literally a prophet at home, winning clearly (64 cents) in front of the same Alex Gruber, great silver, and to Patrick Pigneter who took bronze.
