At the beginning of the 2012/13 season , Wendl / Arlt won five World Cup races in a row until they were beaten by the Eggert / Benecken doubles in the World Cup race on January 12, 2013 in Oberhof, which was also classified as the European Championship . With victories in the last two races of the season, they won the overall ranking in the World Cup. At the 2013 World Championships in Whistler, Wendl / Arlt secured the title for the first time, which they also achieved with the team relay. In the winter of 2013/14 they were able to win the World Cup again with six wins . At the 2014 Olympic Games in Sochi , Tobias Arlt and his partner Tobias Wendl won the gold medal by a large margin. A day later he was again Olympic champion in the team relay with Wendl and the single-seater drivers Felix Loch and Natalie Geisenberger . For this, he was awarded the Silver Laurel Leaf on May 8, 2014 by Federal President Joachim Gauck . In the 2014/15 season they achieved 11 podium finishes in 12 World Cup races, including first place six times. They won four times with the relay. At the 2015 Luge World Championships in Sigulda , they won the gold medal in the doubles and in the relay. In the overall World Cup they finished second behind Eggert / Bennecken, 16 points behind.
