Milano Cortina 2026 - Team USA - Luge


Recommended Posts

Team USA 2026

 

Men's Singles - Jonny Gustafson and Matt Greiner

 

Men's Doubles - Marcus Mueller + Ansel Haugsjaa, and Zack DiGregorio + Sean Hollander

 

Women's Singles - Summer Britcher, Ashley Farquharson, and Emily Fischnaller

 

Women's Doubles - Chevonne Forgan + Sophia Kirkby

 

(And we will compete in the Team Relay.)

 

History

 

Germany traditionally dominates at Luge.  We've never won gold, but have won 3 silvers and 3 bronzes.  (We won one Silver in 2018, one Bronze in 2014, and one of each in 2002...so it's been a minute.)  This is also the first year that Women's Doubles will be contested.

 

We've had a nice World Cup season, so here's hoping for some hardware to take back to the USA!

USA 2-Man beating the top contenders down Run 1 and setting a TR wasn't on my bingo card today...

So, they lost it at the very end...heartbreaker...but still proud of our boys...hoping to sneak into the podium at the relay tomorrow where anything can happen!

Final thoughts on Luge...

 

I knew we had some potential here, and I'm glad we were able to nab one medal (Ashley Farquharson's bronze)...but I think the future is bright for our team.

 

Looking at the results, Men's Singles is our weak point, our men finishing 11 and 20.

 

And let's not forget our rookies Haugsjaa/Mueller topping the leaderboard after Run 1 in Men's Doubles!  Just one mistake at the end of Run 2 cost them a medal.  So close!

 

Our relay (another one of my fav events) had us finishing 5th...but I think we can sneak onto the podium next time if we tighten up a few things.

Yeah not a bad Olympics for luge. Great showing by Ashley to win bronze.

 

Hopefully the men can improve for 2030. The men's doubles team being first after run 1 was a nice surprise.

    • do you anderstand french   
    • From a  perspective:   Elana Meyers Taylor winning monobob, Alysa Liu winning women's figure skating, Shiffrin winning women's slalom & both our hockey teams winning gold   From an international perspective:    Klaebo dominating cross country skiing events  Shaidorov winning men's figure skating  Franjo von Allmen dominating men's alpine skiing  Kingsbury winning gold in dual moguls  Netherlands dominating short track now??!?!?!  Lucas winning gold for Brasil and South America   In reality, all the athletes are winners for sacrificing so much to participate in these Olympics. What an incredible games full of unpredictable and inspiring moments!
    • The driver of Epstein is telling ,he was charged to hide bodies of killed btchs   
    • Kudos to you bud, I don't think anyone was happy with the performance by Canada all tournament, but we all stayed on until the end. Take as much time as you need.
    • As new sports I would add cyclocross with the condition it needs to be contested on snow. I would add ice climbing in speed and lead events. I would add freeride ski and snowboard. For new events I would add team sprint events in speed skating, women's Nordic combined, mixed team ski cross, mixed team parallel giant slalom, women's team ski jumping and add longer distance ski mountaineering events.    If there was room on the schedule I would also expand curling to 12 teams in each event.   In total I would add around 20 events for a total of 136 events.

    • Hey everyone , now that the Olympics are over just wanted to make an announcement that I'll be taking a break from posting on Totallympics for the most part, and watching sports. Mentally these games have broke me in so many ways, and I need time to reset. Not sure for how long, at least a week, but I'll be back for the Paralympics.   I thought taking time to reflect over the past week and a half, it would make Grondin's silver feel better, it didn't at all. I still think about it all the time and it hurts. Just upset, frustrated, and disappointed that he was a photo finish away from gold... again, and I'd trade half of our medals for the colour to be changed.    Not to mention Canada only won 21 medals, 5-7-9, which is our lowest total since Salt Lake City 2002 with less events, but whatever I got used to it half a week ago... 
    • Otherwise the tournament has been excellent in ice hockey, and overall too. 😊
    • Overtime being 3-on-3 is such a bad rule, especially in a final.
    • NBC had a lovely special after the ceremony...even highlighted some non-USA athletes.  Perhaps a few Americans will know Klaebo's name now!  There was even a segment highlighting the Italian medallists, that this was a record year for them, too.   (Best of Milan Cortina, on Peacock, if you can access it.)
