The Latvian luge duo of Marta Robežniece and Kitija Bogdanova made history by finishing fourth in the first-ever women's doubles event at the Olympic Games held in Cortina d'Ampezzo. In their initial run, they placed fourth, but improved to third in the second run, ultimately missing the podium by just 0.253 seconds in the aggregate times of two runs. This achievement highlights the intensity and competitiveness of the newly introduced event.

The competition was fierce, with the Italian pair of Andrea Fetere and Marion Oberhofere taking first place, narrowly beating the German team of Dajana Eitberger and Magdalena Machinu by just 0.12 seconds. The Austrian team of Selina Egle and Lara Kipa secured the third spot, finishing 0.259 seconds behind the winners. Robežniece and Bogdanova were 0.512 seconds slower than the champions, demonstrating their strong performance against a backdrop of high-level competition.

This marks a significant milestone in women's luge as the event was included in the Olympic program for the first time. Robežniece and Bogdanova's finish in the top four underscores the increasing recognition and representation of female athletes in a sport that is gaining popularity, setting the stage for future competitions and inspiring a new generation of athletes. The fact that they outperformed American teams by a notable margin further establishes their prominence on the international stage.
