Red-white-red festivities at the home Luge World Cup in Innsbruck-Igls: Nico Gleirscher led an Austrian quadruple victory in the men's single on Sunday!

Just like in 2022, the ÖRV athletes celebrated a quadruple victory: Nico Gleirscher won, followed by Jonas Müller, brother and Olympic champion David Gleirscher and Wolfgang Kindl.

Nico Gleirscher celebrated his fourth World Cup victory, the third in Igls, 0.095 seconds ahead of Müller.

Germans behind
The strong Germans Max Langenghahn and Felix Loch had to settle for fifth and sixth place. A team relay competition is scheduled for later.

The red-white-red team has thus fully exploited its home advantage on the 200 m longer track. On Saturday, Madeleine Egle and Selina Egle/Lara Kipp had already secured victories in the women's singles and doubles. Only in the men's doubles did Thomas Steu/Wolfgang Kindl "only" finish third. In addition, World Champion Lisa Schulte also secured a podium finish in third place in the single-seater.
