In the relay race, a women’s singles, a men’s singles and a doubles will compete one after the other; the men’s singles and doubles will start immediately after approval, when the previous sled has reached the finish. The relay competition was not an official part of the World Cup until 2010, and will only be taken into account here from the 2010/11 season, when it became a regular part of the World Cup. The seasons outside the World Cup are marked in italics.

Most successful all-rounder
This statistic lists the male starters who were able to place in the top three of the overall Luge World Cup ranking in both the singles and doubles. Especially in the 1970s and to some extent even in the 1980s, parallel competitions were mainly used by Italian athletes. For example, Norbert Huber and Hansjörg Raffl were at times among the world's best in both the single and the double-seater. Georg Hackl, on the other hand, initially drove successfully in the two-seater with Stefan Ilsanker in the second half of the 1980s , before devoting himself mainly to his successful solo career from around the 1990s. Some athletes don't show up here. Partly because they were never able to place themselves well enough in the overall standings, as they competed with different partners within one season and thus entered the standings several times as part of several different doubles. It was different with Paul Hildgartner, for example, who was Olympic champion, world and European champion in both single and double, but since the introduction of the World Cup, he has mainly focused on the single-seater. So he could not achieve top results in the doubles. Since the 2000s at the latest, an evenly strong appearance in both competitions has hardly been possible anymore due to the tight program and increasing specialization, although both races usually take place on consecutive days. Changes between single and double-seater happen again and again. So was Patrick Schwiebacher long before he held until his career end on a single-seater on the road from 2008 Hans Peter Fischnaller a double formed. Most recently, for example, the American Christopher Mazdzer tried to contest both competitions at the same time in the singles and with his partner from successful junior times Jayson Terdiman in the doubles. Before that, Mazdzer had been very successful in singles for several years, Terdiman formed a successful double with Christian Niccum , then with Matt Mortensen .
Explanation : The number indicates the placement ( 1st - first place and so on), ES means single seater, DS means double seater GE means total.
