	BBC News \| Luge \| Germany takes luge gold and silver
		In the closest luge race in Olympic history, Germany's Silke Kraushaar edged her teammate, Barbara Niedernhueber, by.002 seconds to win the gold medal in women's luge on Wednesday.
		Kraushaar finished the four runs in 3 minutes, 23.779 seconds, Niedernhueber was timed in 3:23.781, and Angelika Neuner of Austria won bronze in 3:24.253.
		Kraushaar, who has never led a World Cup race after the first run, has had problems with stamina in the past, and that was expected to be a factor in a four-run race.
