LILLEHAMMER, Norway (AP) — Johannes Lochner's retirement season is shaping up to be his best.

Lochner — who will end his career after the Olympics in February — won a World Cup four-man bobsled race for the second consecutive day on Sunday, leading another German sweep of the medals in that event.

Lochner's team was first, Adam Ammour drove to second and Francesco Friedrich crossed the line in third.

The Germans have finished 1-2-3 in four of the six men's bobsled races this season — four of them four-man events, two of them two-man events — and have collected 16 of a possible 18 medals to this point. Lochner has won five of those six races.

PARK CITY, Utah (AP) — U.S. teammates Summer Britcher and Emily Fischnaller are in first and second place going into Saturday's final heat of a World Cup women's singles luge race, a rare two-day, two-run format for the circuit.

Britcher finished her run down the 2002 Olympic track in 43.291 seconds; Fischnaller finished in 43.295 seconds. Austria's Dorothea Schwarz is third after one run, with a time of 43.324 seconds.

The women's race will end Saturday, as will the men's singles race — which is also using the two-day format. Typically, both heats of a World Cup race are held the same day. Jonas Müller of Austria (44.652) is the men's leader at the midway point, followed in the top five by Germany's Max Langenhan, Italian teammates Leon Felderer and Dominik Fischnaller, and Jonny Gustafson of the U.S.

In men's doubles, USA Luge picked up a silver when Zack Di Gregorio and Sean Hollander saw their lead slip away in the final meters of the second run. Germany's Toni Eggert and Florian Mueller rallied for the win, finishing two runs in 1 minute, 26.222 seconds. Di Gregorio and Hollander — the leaders after one run — finished in 1:26.273. Italy's Ivan Nagler and Fabian Malleier were third in 1:26.356.

The first hint of concern regarding the readiness of Canada’s women’s hockey team was raised by coach Troy Ryan two days before the defending Olympic champions opened their four-game Rivalry Series against the United States last month.

Whatever advantage Canada might have in returning a veteran roster with an edge in international experience isn’t enough to make a difference once the puck drops, Ryan told The Associated Press then. What worried him particularly after a sloppy practice was his players using that experience as a crutch.

“Sometimes what happens with experienced teams that have experienced a lot together, complacency can creep in,” he said.

“When you have trust in people, a lot of times you trust and trust and trust, and it can end up working against you,” Ryan added. “So, ‘Oh, we’ll be fine. Our passing will get better. We’ll be better come the Olympics,’ I don’t believe in that. ... So that's the challenge. How do you keep pushing? How do you keep finding ways to improve?"
