Luge
WORLD CUP: Italy's Armin Zoggeler won the gold medal at the Viessmann Luge World Cup on Sunday in Lake Placid, N.Y., after strong wind and mild weather forced the cancellation of the second men's heat.

Sonja Wiedemann of Germany held off Becky Wilczak of the United States to win the women's Viessmann Luge World Cup at Mount Van Hoevenberg on Saturday. Wiedemann's combined time of 1:28.981 was 0.155 better than Wilczak.
