Max Langenhan defended his singles title, becoming only the fifth luger since 1955 to do so, while Felix Loch claimed silver and set a new record with his 11th career World Championship medal.
The doubles pair Hannes Orlamünder and Paul Gubitz secured a surprise gold, while the veteran duo Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt won bronze in the same event.
