Comment: This athlete falls into the
"too soon" category, wherein they might be properly notable in a few years' time, but at the moment the majority of coverage is simply routine "person is selected for the Olympics" coverage (and not receiving a medal doesn't help either). The national titles are also a plus, but in a (relatively) niche sport like luge that's not quite as much of an "automatic notability" status that other sports might confer on an individual. That being said, if there are multiple significant
reliable sources that discuss Kleinheinz outwith the Olympics and her YNC wins, that would also demonstrate
GNG.
