The German star tied the career record for World Cup women's luge wins on Saturday, holding off the Canadian duo of Kimberley McRae and Alex Gough to get her 37th victory on the circuit — tying Sylke Otto of Germany for the all-time lead. Huefner's two-run time was 1 minute, 28.638 seconds, good enough to put her into the World Cup season points lead. Summer Britcher was second after one run of the women's race, but she managed only a fourth-place finish to lead the USA Luge entrants in 1:28.758. Emily Sweeney, who has been slowed at the start of her runs by a wrist injury, was sixth for the U.S., and fellow American Erin Hamlin, who won a world championship at Lake Placid in 2009 and a World Cup there last season, skidded a bit midway through her second run and finished seventh. The Americans needed some help in the relay to get to the medal stand and got it from the Germans, when Olympic champion Felix Loch had trouble in his portion of the relay.
