Quick Summary

Luge’s governing body has continued sanctions against Russian athletes for the World Cup and other events this season, following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. However, some Russian sliders will be permitted to compete in singles events if they can prove they have never supported or participated in the war. These athletes will compete as neutral individuals without the Russian flag or anthem at events.
