Background
The defending champions were Francesco Friedrich and Thorsten Margis. Friedrich qualified for the event, but in 2026 he was running with Alexander Schüller. If they won, Friedrich would become the first person to win three gold medals in two-man bobsleigh. Similarly, the 2022 silver medalists were Johannes Lochner and Florian Bauer; Lochner was now running with Georg Fleischhauer. The bronze medalists were Christoph Hafer and Matthias Sommer. Hafer retired.[2] Lochner won the 2025–26 Bobsleigh World Cup, having won six our of seven two-man races that season; the remaining race was won by Friedrich. Friedrich and Schüller were the 2025 World champions.
