WHISTLER, British Columbia (AP) — Germany's Natalie Geisenberger is still perfect in singles races this World Cup luge season.
And Emily Sweeney delivered the first U.S. medal of the year.
Geisenberger improved to 3 for 3 on the young season, with the reigning Olympic champion winning the women's race at the World Cup stop in Whistler on Saturday. Germany's Julia Taubitz won the silver, and Sweeney held on for third in her first race of the season.
Geisenberger's two-run time was 1 minute, 16.904 seconds. Taubitz, who has been second in all three races on the women's circuits this season, finished in 1:17.195. Sweeney's time was 1:17.195.
