Toni Eggert (born May 12, 1988 in Suhl ) is a German luge athlete . With his doubles partner Sascha Benecken , he has been world champion seven times and won the overall world cup five times.

Career

Toni Eggert is a sports soldier in the Oberhof sports promotion group and starts for the BRC Ilsenburg . He has been involved in luge since 2000. With Marcel Oster , he has competed in 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 . There is also 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 Eggert and his partner also won the title at the German junior championships. Since the 2008/09 season , both have been part of the German B-squad and qualified for the start of 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.

In 2010 Sascha Benecken Eggerts became a new partner. On January 14, 2012, the doubles achieved their first World Cup victory in Oberhof . On February 10, 2012 both won the silver medal in doubles at the World Championships in Altenberg and the gold medal in the team relay two days later. For this they both received the silver bay leaf .

On the home track in Oberhof, Eggert / Benecken won the doubles and team relay titles at the 2013 European Championships . At the 2013 World Championships in Whistler, Wendl / Arlt were again ahead of them.
