Natalie Geisenberger led a German sweep of the medals, while Canada's Alex Gough finished fourth at the first World Cup women's luge race of the season on Saturday in Innsbruck, Austria . Dajana Eitberger was second at 1:20.661, followed by Tatjana Huefner at 1:20.664 to secure the 1-2-3 finish for Germany, which also swept the medals in last season's World Cup opener. It was the 21st consecutive World Cup doubles victory for a German sled, a streak that started late in the 2015-16 season. It was also the 12th win in the last 15 World Cup races for Eggert and Benecken. CBC Sports has live coverage of the event and continues with doubles luge with the second run set for 8:30 a.m.
