As a country, Germany is currently ranked second, just after Norway, with 6 gold medals and 3 silver medals. Not bad! For example, a few days ago, Johannes Ludwig won the <em>goldene Medaille\u00a0<\/em>(f, gold medal) in\u00a0<em>das Rennrodeln\u00a0<\/em>(luge) &#8211; and Natalie Geisenberger won the women&#8217;s <em>Rennrodeln<\/em>. But that wasn&#8217;t all! In the\u00a0<em>Doppelsitzer\u00a0<\/em>(m, double), Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt won gold, too. But besides dominating in <em>Rennrodeln<\/em>, the Germans also did well in other disciplines. Denise Herrmann won gold in\u00a0<em>der Biathlon<\/em>, while Vinzenz Geiger won gold in\u00a0<em>die Nordische Kombination\u00a0<\/em>(Nordic Combined).\u00a0<em>Gratulation!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you want to see German coverage of the\u00a0<em>Olympiade<\/em>, the German website of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eurosport.de\/rodeln\/olympia-rodeln\/2022\/olympia-2022-so-rocken-die-deutsche-rodler-die-winterspiele-von-peking_vid1627422\/video.shtml\">Eurosport<\/a> is a good one. They also have many short videos of different events, so if you want to get some German practice in, that could be a good place to go!
