The world luge championships highlight this week’s winter sports events on NBC Sports, Olympic Channel and Peacock Premium.
The host Germans are expected to again dominate luge worlds, which were relocated from Whistler, B.C., to Königssee due to coronavirus pandemic-related travel issues.
Two-time Olympic champions Felix Loch and Natalie Geisenberger lead the individual World Cup standings in comeback seasons.
Loch, after dropping from first to fifth in the fourth and final run at the 2018 Olympics, won just one World Cup event in the 2018-19 and 2019-20 seasons (plus the 2019 World title).
