Cheyenne Rosenthal (born July 23, 2000 ) is a German luge athlete .

Career

Cheyenne Rosenthal is a sports soldier and lives in the Silbach district of Winterberg . She started tobogganing in 2009 and starts for the BSC Winterberg .

Youth and junior women

Rosenthal went through the various international competition classes in luge sport. She made her debut in the Youth A World Cup in December 2015 on the Königssee ice rink . In a five-fold German success, she was fifth. In her other three races of the season she also achieved single-digit placings, but without reaching the podium.

In the following season 2016/17 Rosenthal advanced to the Junior World Cup. In her first race in Igls , she finished third behind Hannah Prock and Jessica Tiebel, making it onto the podium for the first time. In the following race in Oberhof , which was also the Junior European Championship, she finished third behind Tiebel and Prock and won the bronze medal. This was followed by the 2017 Junior World Championships in Sigulda , where Rosenthal, finishing tenth, was unable to build on the successes of the previous races. In the further course of the season she finished fifth in Altenberg and finished second behind Tiebel for the first time on her home track in Winterberg . In the overall ranking of the racing series, she took fifth place.

The 2017/18 season began in December 2017 with a fourth and a ninth place in Oberhof and sixth place in Königssee. The new year started with the first victory in the Junior World Cup on the track in Igls. In the second race on the same track, Rosenthal only had to admit defeat to local hero Lisa Schulte and won the team competition with Max Langenhan and the doubles Hannes Orlamünder and Paul Gubitz . She also won the individual race on her home track in Winterberg, as well as the team competition alongside Max Langenhan, Hendrik Seibert and Calvin Meister. Since it was also the Junior European Championships, Rosenthal won both gold medals. In addition, she won the overall ranking of the Junior World Cup. So she traveled as one of the favorites to the Luge Junior World Championships 2018 in Altenberg , but could not do justice to this role. After a failed first run, after which she was only in 16th place, she was only able to improve to eleventh place in the second run.

The 2018/19 season began again for Rosenthal with very mixed performances. On the routes in North America seldom driven by the young German women at the start of the season, she was able to achieve single-digit placings in two races in Park City with ranks six and eight, and in the third race of the season in Calgary she finished her worst career result by far with 21st place in the Junior World Cup. In St. Moritz , too , back in Europe, she only finished in seventh place and thus also reached seventh place at the European championships. At the next highlight of the season, the 2019 Luge Junior World Championships in Igls, she found her way back on the road to success and won her individual race ahead of the Italian Verena Hofer and her teammate Jessica Degenhardt . With the German team, which also included Max Langenhan and the Orlamünder / Gubitz doubles, who also won the titles in their races, Rosenthal surprisingly had to join the team of the host Austrians around Lisa and Bastian Schulte as well as the doubles Juri Gatt and Riccardo Schöpf give up. After another victory in the Junior World Cup on her home track in Winterberg in the individual and with the relay as well as a sixth place in Oberhof, Rosenthal was also sixth in the overall ranking of the racing series.

Beginnings in the A World Cup

After Tatjana Hüfner's resignation and the pregnancy- related absence of Natalie Geisenberger and Dajana Eitberger , the 2019/20 season saw a much earlier and more radical change in the German women's team than planned. In addition to the seeded Julia Taubitz , the youngsters Jessica Tiebel, Anna Berreiter and Rosenthal moved into the World Cup team as the youngest of the four athletes. Rosenthal started the season somewhat handicapped due to an injury. At the traditional season opener in Igls, she was able to achieve a single-digit position in her first race with ninth place. With this placement she had already qualified for the World Cup race via the Nations Cup. The second race of the season in Lake Placid did not go quite as well. After an attractive Nations Cup race, in which she qualified for the World Cup race in seventh place, she finished in 15th place in the first run, which would have qualified as last place for participation in the sprint race the next day. After a weaker second run, however, she dropped to 17th place and swapped places with her teammate Anna Berreiter and missed her first sprint race.

Before the third race of the season in Whistler , Rosenthal had to qualify for the Nations Cup as a newcomer due to a lack of sufficient points as in the previous races. Behind Anna Berreiter, she finished in a very good second place and was able to outperform all of the more experienced North Americans here. After finishing 12th in the first race, she was able to place herself in tenth place overall thanks to a better second run with the seventh-best time and thus also achieve a sprint race of the top 15 for the first time. In this sprint race, Rosenthal finished third behind Tatjana Iwanowa and Emily Sweeney and thus for the first time in her career on the podium in a World Cup race.

In the first World Cup races of 2020, Rosenthal was able to confirm its form and establish itself in the extended world elite. On the Altenberg racing sledge and bobsleigh track , she was the third-best German, finishing in eleventh place. Two weeks later, at the World Cup in Sigulda , she was the second best German luge athlete and eighth in the single-seater race, and in the sprint she was also fifth as the second best German athlete. At the World Cup on the Oberhof luge track , Rosenthal finished tenth. This form was also confirmed at the season's highlight: At the 2020 Luge World Championships at the Sanki Sliding Center in Krasnaja Polyana near Sochi , Russia , she finished tenth in the sprint race and eighth in the single-seater race, thus winning Silver medal in the U23 classification behind her team colleague Anna Berreiter. The Junior World Championships in Oberhof, however, were disappointing, finishing tenth for Rosenthal. At the end of the season, she finished eighth in the World Cup at Königssee and once again made it into the top 10. The day before she had finished third in the Nations Cup. In the overall World Cup ranking, Rosenthal reached tenth place.
