Felix Loch Eyes 2030 Winter Olympics as Career Milestone

The three-time Olympic luge champion plans to compete through 2026 and potentially beyond, balancing family life and social advocacy.

  • Felix Loch, a 35-year-old luge champion, has confirmed his participation in the 2026 Winter Olympics in Cortina d'Ampezzo, aiming for a fourth gold medal.
  • Loch is considering extending his career to include the 2028 World Championships at Königssee and possibly the 2030 Winter Olympics, where he would be 40 years old.
  • This season marks Loch's first without his father, Norbert Loch, as his coach; Norbert retired after a 16-year tenure and 119 medals as Germany's luge coach.
  • Loch and his wife, Lisa, are actively engaged in social causes, including supporting Ukrainian athletes and advocating for children's education and health through Plan International.
  • The couple’s two sons are exploring sports, with no pressure to follow in their father’s luge footsteps, while Loch has also gained attention for his candid social media presence.
