PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — Erin Hamlin and Emily Sweeney gave the U.S. a sweep of the top two spots in a World Cup women’s luge race Saturday.

Hamlin won gold in 1 minute, 29.257 seconds, her third career win in a World Cup race. Sweeney tied her career-best World Cup finish by taking second in 1:29.384, and Alex Gough of Canada was third in 1:29.584.

Hamlin’s other World Cup wins were a sprint race at Altenberg, Germany, in February 2015, and a full World Cup last season in Lake Placid.
