Marcel Oster
Marcel Oster (born April 5, 1989 in Suhl ) is a German luge rider .
Marcel Oster has been a police chief candidate at the Federal Police Sports School in Bad Endorf since 2008 , lives in Sülzfeld and starts for RT Suhl . He has been running luge since 2000. With Toni Eggert , he has been competing in a two-seater since 2003. Both were successful as juniors. In doubles they won the Junior World Championships twice, 2007 in Cesana Pariol and 2008 in Lake Placid , plus a title (2007) and a second place (2008) in the team competition. They also achieved great success in the Junior World Cup. In the 2005/06 season they reached third place in the overall ranking, in 2006/07 they came fourth, and in 2007/08 they won the overall ranking of the racing series. In the last junior season they not only won the overall standings, but also all six races of the season and two races of the Challenge Cup. In 2007, Oster and his partner also won the title at the German Junior Championships. Since 2008/09 both have been part of the German B-squad and qualified for the start in the Luge World Cup . They benefited from the injury-related loss of the André Florschütz / Torsten Wustlich pair . In their very first race, the double finished eighth in the top ten. Two more races followed with the same placement. For the fourth race, Eggert / Oster were replaced by their direct competitors for the World Cup place, Ronny Pietrasik and Christian Weise , who, however, as 15th placed, could not match the performance of the Suhlers. They then started again in Cesana and achieved their last result so far in seventh place. For the rest of the season she replaced the now recovered duo Florschütz / Wustlich Eggert and Oster.
