Major achievements in luge by nation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article contains lists of achievements in major senior-level international luge tournaments according to first-place, second-place and third-place results obtained by teams representing different nations. The objective is not to create combined medal tables; the focus is on listing the best positions achieved by teams in major international tournaments, ranking the nations according to the most number of podiums accomplished by teams of these nations.

Results

[edit]

For the making of these lists, results from following major international tournaments were consulted:

Governing body Tournament Track
FIL & IOC Luge at the Winter Olympics (since 1964, quadrennially) Artificial track
FIL FIL World Luge Championships (since 1955, annually) Artificial track
Luge World Cup (since 1977, annually[a]) Artificial track
FIL World Luge Natural Track Championships (since 1979, biennially) Natural track

Medals earned by athletes from defunct National Olympic Committees (NOCs) or historical teams are NOT merged with the results achieved by their immediate successor states. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) do NOT combine medals of these nations or teams.[1]

The conventions used on this table are M for men's singles event, MSp for men's sprint event, W for women's singles event, WSp for women's sprint event, D for doubles event, DSp for doubles' sprint event, T for mixed team event.

The tables are pre-sorted by total number of first-place results, second-place results and third-place results, respectively. When equal ranks are given, nations are listed in alphabetical order.
