"VAN" (Sports Desk - 30.01.2026) :: Milano Cortina 2026 will mark a huge career achievement for Selina Egle and Lara Kipp. The Austrian women’s doubles luge team had been set to compete at the Lausanne 2020 Winter Youth Olympic Games, but their medal hopes were dashed when Selina broke her foot. They have made significant strides as a team in the six years since, winning back-to-back gold medals at the 2024 and 2025 World Championships. Now, with women’s doubles luge added to the Olympic programme for the first time at Milano Cortina 2026, Selina and Lara will get the chance for more success at their first Winter Games. Competing at Milano Cortina 2026 will be huge for us. Our preparations for the Games are going well. We have some mistakes to figure out, but we like the track. It’s interesting to slide down and it’s got a cool flow.
