Toni Eggert (born 12 May 1988) is a German luger who has competed since 2008.^{[1] [2]} With his doubles partner Sascha Benecken, he has been world champion ten times and won the overall World Cup six times.

Toni Eggert is a sports soldier in the sports promotion group Oberhof and starts for the BRC Ilsenburg . He has been luging since 2000. He has competed in doubles with Marcel Oster since 2003. Both were already successful as juniors. They won twice in doubles, in 2007 in Cesana Pariol and in 2008 in Lake Placid, the Junior World Championships. 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 finished third in the overall standings, in 2006/07 they came fourth and in 2007/08 they won the overall standings 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 in the Challenge Cup. In 2007, Eggert and his partner also won the title at the German junior championships. Both have been part of the German B squad since the 2008/09 season and qualified to start in the Luge World Cup . They benefited from the injury-related failure of the doublesAndré Florschütz / Torsten Wustlich . Right at their first race, the double was able to finish 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, placed 15th and were unable to match the performance of the Suhlers. They then started again in Cesana and achieved their last result so far as seventh place. For the remainder of the season she replaced the now recovered duo Florschütz/Wustlich.

In 2010 Sascha Benecken became Eggert's 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 two days later the gold medal in the team relay. For this they both received the silver laurel leaf .

On the 22nd of August 2023, Eggert, in conjunction with his doubles collaborator Benecken, officially declared their retirement from active involvement in competitive sports.^[3]
