WINTERBERG, Germany — Natalie Geisenberger got another win, Emily Sweeney claimed her first gold medal and Erin Hamlin clinched another Olympic berth. Geisenberger won the World Cup women’s singles race, holding off fellow German star Tatjana Heufner by about one-third of a second while Summer Britcher of the U.S. was third. In the sprint race that followed, Sweeney got her first World Cup win, with Britcher second — her second medal of the day — to give the U.S. a gold-silver finish. Geisenberger’s win was the 40th of her career in a World Cup singles event. Including the sprint bronze, she now has 81 World Cup singles medals and 105 World Cup medals overall, not including 15 medals that she’s collected at past Olympics and world championships.
