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. This victory marked the first time the U.S. women's team had won a World Cup relay since 2016. 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. This win was particularly significant as it showcased the depth and resilience of the U.S. luge program, with all three athletes contributing to the victory despite recent setbacks.
