Germany picks up another two medals in the luge, winning gold and bronze in the doubles at the 2018 Winter Olympics.

Another day at the Winter Olympics, and another handful of medals for Germany. In the doubles luge event, Germany walked away with the gold and bronze medals to increase their total medals in luge to five, including two gold medals.

Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt won first place with a 0.088 second margin of victory. Austria’s Peter Penz and Georg Fischler settled for silver. Germany’s Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken finished in third, 0.290 behind the leaders. An Austrian team finished in fourth.

In three luge events at the 2018 Winter Games, nine medals have been handed out and over half of them have gone to Germany.

Austria has nabbed the lone gold medal that Germany didn’t stake their claim to, and nabbed the silver in luge doubles. Canada and the United States each grabbed a single luge medal.

The top United States team finished in eighth, followed by another pair in 10th.
