With the second World Cup victory this winter, luge rider
Julia Taubitz extended
her lead in the overall World Cup and underscored her ambitions for a medal at the Olympics in Beijing.
The 25-year-old won on Sunday in the Innsbruck-Igls ice track ahead of strong Austrian competitor Madeleine Egle and her teammates
Natalie Geisenberger
(Miesbach) and
Anna Berreiter
(Berchtesgaden).
Dajana Eitberger could not start in Innsbruck because a positive corona test forced the 30-year-old into quarantine at home.

second, 0.22 seconds behind.
