Ukrainian lugers have earned 10 Olympic licences for the XXV Winter Olympic Games in 2026 in Milan and Cortina d’Ampezzo, which is a record number for independent Ukraine in the history of luge. This was reported by the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine.

Ukraine will be represented in women’s doubles for the first time, and two Ukrainian crews will compete in men’s doubles.
