IGLS, Austria (AP) — Germany’s Natalie Geisenberger led her country’s sweep of the top four spots Saturday at the season’s second World Cup luge race.
Geisenberger finished two runs in 1 minute, 20.135 seconds for her second gold medal of the season. Tatjana Hufner (1:20.167) and Anke Wischnewski (1:20.311) took silver and bronze for Germany, while Dajana Eitberger (1:20.536) was fourth.
Geisenberger is the reigning World Cup overall champion.
Former world champion Erin Hamlin of Remsen, N.Y., finished sixth in 1:20.646, which likely guarantees her spot on the 2014 U.S. Olympic team. Also for the U.S., Summer Britcher (1:20.709) was eighth, Julia Clukey (1:20.834) was 12th and Kate Hansen (1:21.238) was 23rd.
