Golden Geisenberger: German star defends women's luge title

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — Natalie Geisenberger refuses to call herself the best women's luge athlete ever.

The history books may do it for her.

Germany has yet another Olympic gold medalist, after Geisenberger prevailed in the women's luge final on Tuesday — her second consecutive title and one that added yet another page to her burgeoning resume of accomplishments.

"The most of what you reach in sport is an Olympic gold medal," Geisenberger said.

And now, no luger has ever won more gold than Geisenberger. It's the third gold in her collection, the two singles wins now paired with the team relay win from the Sochi Games.
