Natalie Geisenberger Wins Luge Gold Medal at Winter Olympics 2018

Natalie Geisenberger of Germany won gold in the women's luge singles at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, on Tuesday.

Geisenberger led the event from her first run to the last, and her victory ensured the women's luge singles gold has now remained in German hands for 20 years.

Dajana Eitberger and Alex Gough collected silver and bronze on behalf of Germany and Canada, respectively, after Tatjana Huefner surprisingly failed to round out a German one-two-three on the podium.

Here's a look at the updated medal standings after Tuesday's women's luge final:

Geisenberger has been an imperious presence in the women's luge in recent years and came into these Olympics having won all six World Cups on offer since she clinched her first in the 2012-13 season.
