German Johannes Ludwig confirmed his status as favourite to win gold in men’s luge. This was the second medal in the event for Ludwig, who took bronze at PyeongChang in 2018. This was the 11th gold medal in the event for either Germany or the German Democratic Republic, which is more than any other nation has won in medals in total. Austrian Wolfgang Kindl won the silver medal, only 0.16 seconds behind Ludwig after four runs. It was the seventh medal in the event for Austria, ranking them fourth after Germany, the German Democratic Republic, and Italy. Italy added to its medal total when Dominik Fischnaller took bronze, giving them nine medals in all to equal the German Democratic Republic.
Ludwig’s gold after his 2018 bronze made him the seventh man to win two medals in the event. However, Armin Zöggeler (Italy) won six medals, Georg Hackl (West Germany/Germany) is close behind with five, and Austria’s Markus Prock has three. At 35 years and 357 days old, Ludwig became the oldest gold medallist in the event and the oldest man to win gold in any luge event. Germany won its 21st gold medal in luge, the most they have won in any Olympic Winter Games sport, followed by biathlon.
