Repilov wins World Cup luge race in Lake Placid
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. — The German doubles team of Toni Eggert and Sascha Benecken walked off the track at Mount Van Hoevenberg as World Cup race winners, again.
Russia’s Roman Repilov won the men’s race, again.
And the day’s biggest cheers went to Erin Hamlin, again.
Eggert and Benecken won a World Cup race on the Lake Placid track for the fifth consecutive year Saturday, and Repilov won at Mount Van Hoevenberg for the second straight season. But Hamlin stole the show on the track where she dominated for nearly two decades, taking the farewell run of her career and cementing her retirement.
