- CAREER HIGHLIGHTS: Geisenberger, who turned 22 on Feb. 5, is likely the future star of the German women's luge machine. Thing is, she already might be the second-best in the world, too. A winner of three World Cup races this season, with teammate Tatjana Huefner winning the other five, it's no surprise that Geisenberger is figured to be a lock for at least silver at the Vancouver Games. She and U.S. women's luge standout Erin Hamlin, the reigning world champion, have a budding friendship as well, and Geisenberger's father has even kept in contact with the Hamlin family over the past year.
