They were discussing this on CTV this morning and James Duthie pointed out that since 1999, Women's luge has been absolutely dominated by the Germans. In 2001, the bronze was won by an Austrian. Otherwise, every Women's Luge World Cup medal has been won by a German, going back 12 seasons.

Table Tennis is another example. At the last Olympics, the only medals that weren't won by China were the silver and bronze in the team events because China only had one team.
