Geisenberger had four flawless runs and capped the effort by beating German teammate Anna Berreiter by about a half-second for the gold. Tatiana Ivanova of the Russian team was third. She finished about a second off Geisenberger’s winning time. Geisenberger wrapped herself in the German flag when the night was over and now has a chance to add to her golden tally in the team relay on Thursday.
