Germany's Tatjana Huefner has completed a German double in the Olympic luge, winning the gold medal in the women's competition in Vancouver.

Huefner won by a comfortable 0.49 seconds.

However there was no repeat of the German clean sweep of the podium from the previous two Olympics as Austria's Nina Reithmayer won the silver medal.
