23 January 2024 - Italy’s incredible domination of the luge events at Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) Gangwon 2024 continued in the final event as they won the Mixed Team Event, their fourth gold out of five available in the sport.
With all four of the team gold medallists, it was no surprise they finished top of the podium again, and their winning time was almost a second ahead of silver medallists Latvia, while Austria took bronze.
The team relay is a mixed event. For Italy, women’s individual silver medallist and doubles gold medallist Alexandra Oberstolz led off, she was followed by men’s singles gold winner Leon Haselrieder and then it was over to men’s doubles gold medallists Phillipp Brunner and Manuel Weissensteiner to bring home team gold.
