Germany – led by Natalie Geisenberger, Johannes Ludwig, Tobias Arlt and Tobias Wendl – won the team relay. The country swept all four luge events.

Johannes Ludwig let all his rivals know back in November that he would be the one to beat at the Beijing Olympics.

Germany's Johannes Ludwig earned luge singles gold and USA's Chris Mazdzer finished eighth at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

The U.S. ambassador to the United Nations says China’s selection of a Uyghur athlete to help deliver the Olympic flame in Beijing was an attempt by Chinese officials to “distract” from global attention on its human rights violations.

In all likelihood, either Germany's Johannes Ludwig or Austria's Wolfgang Kindl will win luge men's singles gold on Sunday.

The first two heats of the luge men’s singles competition begin Saturday, February 5th at 6:10 a.m. ET.
