How many Luge events were there in the 2018 Winter Olympics?

There were four luge events at the 2018 Winter Olympics. The competitions were held at the Alpensia Sliding Centre in Pyeongchang, South Korea, from February 10 to 15, 2018.

The four events were men’s singles, women’s singles, doubles, and the team relay. Men’s singles and women’s singles tested individual speed over four runs, while doubles featured two athletes sharing one sled. The mixed team relay combined one woman, one man, and one doubles pair in a single timed run for each entry.

Germany won three of the four gold medals: Natalie Geisenberger took women’s singles, and Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt won doubles. Austria won men’s singles through David Gleirscher, while Germany also captured the team relay.

A common mix-up is counting the separate runs as separate events. They are not: each medal competition is one event, even though singles races used four runs. The 2018 program therefore had four events, producing four Olympic champions or winning teams.
