The running order by competing nation will be Romania, China, Poland, Ukraine, United States, Latvia, Austria, Italy and Germany.
The United States will be represented by bronze medalist Ashley Farquharson; Marcus Mueller and Ansel Haugsjaa; Jonny Gustafson and Chevonne Forgan and Sophia Kirkby. The U.S. fielded this exact relay team at the 2025 Luge World Cup in Altenberg, Germany, and they took third place in the event.
The Olympic event was introduced at Sochi 2014 and has been won by Germany in all three Games thus far.
The Germans, who will start last, are certain to be the gold medal favorite again. Singles gold medalists Julia Taubitz and Max Langenhan will compete, as will women’s doubles silver medalists Dajana Eitberger and Magdalena Matschina and men’s doubles bronze medalists Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt.
Italy and Austria are also expected to be contenders each taking multiple luge medals at Milan Cortina 2026.
