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.
