Danilin also won a complete set of medals in the men's singles event at the FIL World Luge Championships with a gold in 1981, a silver in 1983, and a bronze in 1987. He also won a pair of bronze medals in the mixed team event (1989, 1990). He also won two medals in the men's singles event at the FIL European Luge Championships (gold in 1986 and silver in 1982). His best finish in the overall men's singles Luge World Cup was second twice (1981-2, 1982-3).
In 1986, Danilin married fellow Soviet luger Nadejda Danilina, who competed in the late 1980s.
