East Germans Disqualified in First Major Olympic Luge Scandal
At Grenoble 1968 the International Luge Federation disqualified three East German women for allegedly heating sled runners, including defending champion Ortrun Enderlein. Italy’s Erica Lechner moved to first as German protests erupted. West German Christa Schmuck and Angelika Duenhaupt followed. US skater Kathy Roberts placed 17th as cross country contests unfolded and Sweden’s Toni Gustafsson claimed a second cross country gold, edging Russia’s Galina Koulakova. The day also featured the men’s luge and four man bobsled practice ahead of finals, with France and the Soviet Union hockey matches drawing attention.
