COVID-19 kept the World Cup circuits away from Utah’s speedy luge track for a few years, but the elite competitors returned this past weekend for the Eberspacher World Cup at Utah Olympic Park in Park City.
Lake Placid in New York had hosted the U.S. stop on the World Cup tour in 2017-2019, then the pandemic limited winter sports competitions and travel.
German squads won three of the five races on Friday and Saturday on the Utah course, home of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, while Emily Sweeney and Brittney Arndt won individual medals for the U.S. women and the U.S. men just missed out on podium finishes in singles and doubles events.
