U.S. Breaks 18-Year Drought with Luge World Cup Doubles Gold

Zach DiGregorio and Sean Hollander clinch the victory, marking the first U.S. win in 184 World Cup men's doubles races.

Zach DiGregorio and Sean Hollander won the U.S. its first luge World Cup doubles gold medal in nearly 18 years.
The duo had the second-fastest time in both heats and finished in 1 minute, 27.630 seconds, 0.052 seconds better than the Austrian sled.
This victory marks the first win for a U.S. sled in the last 184 World Cup men's doubles races, dating back to Dec. 9, 2005.
