Chevonne Forgan and Sophie Kirkby became the first Americans to win a World Cup luge gold medal on foreign soil in nearly seven years, prevailing in the season-opening women's doubles race.

The U.S. luge team, consisting of Summer Britcher, Ashley Farquharson, and Emily Sweeney, won the gold medal in the team relay at the season-opening World Cup in Lake Placid, New York.

The team's success was highlighted by their ability to overcome challenges, including a crash by Britcher in the singles event the previous day. The relay event saw the U.S. team edge out Germany by just 0.024 seconds, with Canada taking the bronze.
