Leading going into the third and final run, the World Cup
leader produced a nerveless slide to stay in front of compatriot
and defending champion Tina Hermann.
Olympic champion Lizzy Yarnold of Britain moved up into the
bronze-medal position after two strong runs on Saturday.
Yarnold, who returned this season after taking 18 months out of
the sport, was fourth after Friday's opening day with the second
of the day's two runs abandoned because of heavy snow.
European champion Loelling, 21, will lead a strong German
assault on the medals at next year's Winter Olympics in
Pyeongchang.
