Erin Hamlin was shut out from the podium in the women’s singles luge at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics on Tuesday, as Germany went 1-2 and Canada took the bronze.

Hamlin, who in 2014 became the first American to win an Olympic medal in singles luge (winning bronze) finished with a combined time that was 0.680 behind the winner, Natalie Geisenberger, over four runs down the track at Alpensia’s Olympic Sliding Center in South Korea.

It’s the second consecutive gold for Geisenberger, who also won in Sochi. Her cumulative time was 3:05.232.
