Notes

Beijing 2022, luge helmet signed by Felix LOCH (GER). At the end of his fourth Olympic Games, Felix Loch was a threetime Olympic luge champion (2010, 2014 and 2018). Luge helmets are made of a Kevlar and fibreglass shell with foam padding. Loch explained to us that he removed the internal protection so he can use it in future helmets. This protection is actually moulded to the athlete’s head and is reused for as long as possible. Donated by the athlete
