The luge relay event is still relatively new to the Winter Olympics and has a new competent since the last Games. The 2014 Olympics was the first to include the relay. Here’s how it works: each competing nation send down four sleds — one women’s singles, one men’s doubles, one men’s singles, and one women’s doubles.

Italian biathlete Rebecca Passler has not been nominated for Wednesday's Olympic women's relay race after being cleared to compete despite a positive doping test. The Italian winter sport federation said on Tuesday that pursuit gold medallist Lisa Vittozzi and the other top star Dorothea Wierer will be joined by Hannah Auchentaller and Michela Carrara in the 4x6 kilometres race.

The team relay will be the final luge event of the Milan Cortina Olympics and will take place Thursday in Italy.

It made Taubitz and Langenhan the only double-gold winners in luge at this year's Olympics, where Germany — again — was the overall best, with three golds and five medals overall. Italy won four medals (two gold, two bronze), as did Austria (three silver, one bronze).
