German luge athlete Max Langenhan, a double gold medalist at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics in the singles and team events, has revealed details of his celebratory evening. The 26-year-old from Thuringia described how the German team celebrated at a "German house" and that he also visited the "Austrian house" with Thuringian Minister-President Mario Voigt and Sports Minister Carsten Schneider. Langenhan, who competed despite a season-long neck issue, also made headlines for declining a call from Chancellor Friedrich Merz to watch a congratulatory video from Carmen and Robert Geiss, later apologizing publicly. His unique experiences at the games have made him a notable figure both on and off the track.
