From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The FIL European Luge Championships 1914 took place in Reichenberg, Bohemia (then under Austria-Hungary, now Liberec, Czech Republic) under the auspices of the Internatioanler Schlittensportsverband (ISSV - International Sled Sports Federation in (German)), a forerunner to the International Luge Federation. It is also the only time that women do not compete in any event at the World, European, or Winter Olympic level in the history of luge.
