Tobias Wendl und Tobias Arl bei Olympia: „Was da an Arbeit hinter steckt, interessiert niemanden“ 21.02.2026

Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt, Germany's most successful winter athletes, have secured their seventh Olympic gold medal in the team relay event at the Cortina Sliding Centre, solidifying their status as record holders. Despite their unparalleled achievements, including a further bronze medal, the duo feels a lack of appreciation for the immense work and sacrifices involved in their sport, a sentiment they expressed in a recent interview. They have completed over 10,000 runs together and maintain a harmonious partnership, attributing their success to humility and dedication. Beyond their luge careers, they engage in other activities like golf and are planning future adventures, while also expressing a desire for greater recognition of their sport and its athletes.
