Max Langenhan is most famous as a German luger who won the Olympic gold medal in men's singles luge at the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics, delivering a dominant performance by setting track records on all four runs to claim Germany's first gold of the Games and continue the nation's historic dominance in the sport—he also competed at Beijing 2022 (finishing sixth) and has amassed multiple World Championship golds, including in singles and relays, plus two World Cup overall titles. Born in Friedrichroda, Germany, in 1999, he competes for BRC 05 Friedrichroda and has been a consistent force on the international circuit with strong starts, technical precision, and reliability on challenging tracks. Surprisingly, despite waking up on the morning of his Olympic singles competition with severe neck pain so intense that he feared he would have to withdraw, Langenhan underwent six hours of medical treatment from the team doctors, powered through the pain (even crashing into a barrier in one training-like moment), and still produced an untouchable, record-breaking performance to secure the gold.
