The luge relay event is still relatively new to the Winter Olympics and has a new competent since the last Games. The 2014 Olympics was the first to include the relay. Here’s how it works: each competing nation send down four sleds — one women’s singles, one men’s doubles, one men’s singles, and one women’s doubles.

Our Ask Me Anything team explain the differences between the winter sports bobsleigh, skeleton and luge.

After a dramatic final run in the men's doubles luge event, Italy's Emanuel Rieder and Simon Kainzwaldner took gold on Wednesday to complete an Italian sweep of the men's and women's events. Andrea Voetter and Marion Oberhofer won the women's competition just before the men's final run.

Andrea Voetter and Marion Oberhofer hadn't won a race this season on the World Cup circuit. They weren't even contenders in many of them.

Glen Rock is planning a watch party for hometown favorite Summer Britcher as she competes in the women's singles luge in Italy today.

Marcus Mueller and Ansel Haugsjaa have put USA Luge in the Olympic record book by leading a race after a heat for the first time.
