When the International Olympic Committee added a luge team relay to the program seven years ago, part of the rationalization was that it would provide more medal chances for women. Geisenberger became the first Olympian ever to win four luge gold medals by helping Germany win the team relay on Thursday night in the sport's final event at the Pyeongchang Games. Ask anyone in the race, and it will be unanimous: The team relay is a hit. Geisenberger has two singles golds and two relay golds, this one coming with Johannes Ludwig, Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt. The team relay has been a mainstay on the World Cup circuit for about a decade, but this was only the second time it's been part of the Olympic program.
