FIL Anniversary World Championships in 2021 in Calgary

Constanța (RWH) The anniversary World Championships of the International Luge Federation (FIL) will be held in 2021 in Calgary, Canada. The 65th Congress of the International Luge Federation in Constanța, Romania, awarded the 50th title races to the host track of the 1988 Olympics.

Calgary prevailed by 20  votes to 15 in a crucial vote against the artificial ice track in Oberhof (GER). Calgary will therefore host the FIL World Championships for the fourth  third time, having previously staged the 1990, 1993 and 2001 events. In the coming winter, the Winter Olympics in PyeongChang in Korea will be highlight of the season for the international luge elite.

In subsequent years, the FIL World Championships will take place in Winterberg, Germany (2019) and Sochi, Russia (2020).

After the title races in Calgary in 2021, the Winter Olympics will come around once again, this time awarded to Beijing by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
