Germany’s Max Langenhan Wins Olympic Men’s Singles Luge Gold, with Dominating Performance

Max Langenhan leads with a 1:45.826 combined time, holding a clear half-second advantage after two runs; top three positions historically predict final medal winners.

  • On Saturday, Feb. 7, 2026, Max Langenhan leads after two runs with a time of 1:45.826, heading into Sunday's medal race.
  • All four runs determine the winner in Olympic men's singles luge, and in the previous 16 Olympic men's luge competitions the gold medalist was never worse than third after two runs.
  • Nobody else sits within a half-second; Jonas Mueller was second in 1:45.988, and Fischnaller third in 1:46.124 after two runs.
  • Max Langenhan leads after two runs, with Felix Loch only eighth going into Sunday, as the medal race narrows to a few top contenders.
  • With two runs complete, the race for medals might already be down to three sliders, reflecting the margins after two heats, with Langenhan, Mueller, and Fischnaller in the driver's seats.
