ALTENBERG, Germany (AP) Two-time Olympic champion Felix Loch claimed his fifth overall luge title with his seventh consecutive World Cup win on Saturday.
The 26-year-old German had the quickest time in both runs, racing down the track in 53.780 and then 53.776 seconds for a combined time of 1 minute, 47.556.
Roman Repilov of Russia was 0.329 behind in second, with Chris Mazdzer of the United States third, 0.346 behind.
As the race doubled for the European Championships, it meant Loch claimed a personal treble after clinching the world title in Koenigssee, Germany on Jan. 31. He claimed the European title once before.
Loch leads the standings with an unassailable 890 points ahead of the last World Cup in Winterberg, Germany. Austria's Wolfgang Kindl is second on 740, ahead of Mazder on 615.
