CORTINA - Italian triumph in the Luge at the Milan-Cortina Olympics. After the triumph of Voetter/Oberhofer, comes the splendid feat of Emanuel Rieder and Simon Kainzwaldner who, with a sensational second run, win the gold medal in the doubles. The Italian pair, who were third, managed to finish with a time of 1'45"086, leaving behind the Austrians Steu/Kindl (68 thousandths behind) and the Germans Wendl/Arlt (90). A second bitter descent for the Americans Mueller/Haugsjaa: from first to sixth. Seventh place instead for the other Italians Nagler/Malleier (1'45"304).
