The next day she placed 6th in the World Cup Race for a new personal best result and is now ranked 7th in the World in Womens Senior Luge. In a sport where size and weight favour the athletes, Arianne contradicts with her petite stature. Edge School's Dr. Matt Brown stated "Too small for the World Cup circuit? She begs to differ"!
