At the Olympic Games, Latvia was represented by two doubles teams in the luge competition. In their initial run, Eduards Ševics/Mikeļševics competed fourth, while last season's World Cup runners-up, Mārtiņš Bots and Roberts Plūme, were assigned the sixth старт number. Despite strong competition, including a leading pair from Austria who set a new track record during their race, Bots and Plūme finished in fifth place, narrowly missing a podium finish.

The results highlighted the challenges faced by the Latvian team, with strong performances from competitors across various countries. The Austrian duo Tomass Šteijs and Wolfgang Kindl led the first run, navigating the course with a record time of 52.485 seconds. They were closely followed by local favorites and teams from Germany, showcasing the high level of talent in the sport. Such competitive dynamics illustrate the increasing globalization of winter sports, with emerging talent shaking up traditional standings.

Despite not medaling, Bots and Plūme's performance marks a significant achievement for Latvia in the sport, indicating a bright future for luge in the country. Their participation and competitiveness add to Latvia's growing reputation in winter sports, enhancing national pride and providing inspiration for future athletes. As the team continues to develop and gain experience, there's anticipation for their future performances in upcoming competitions.
