The Olympic festivities have concluded, but Tobias Wendl and Tobias Arlt, also known as the Double-Tobis, are already gearing up for their next adventure in the Italian Dolomites. The two veteran athletes, now 38 years old, will participate in the Sellaronda Winter Marathon, showcasing their versatility by switching from luge to skiing. This transition reflects their enduring fitness and enthusiasm for sports even after stepping away from competitive sledding for 25 years.

With seven gold medals, Wendl and Arlt stand out as Germany's most decorated winter Olympians. Their success is attributed not only to their extraordinary talent and dedication but also to the exceptional conditions for training and development within Germany. The support for the sport of luge in Germany fosters an environment where athletes like Wendl and Arlt can thrive and achieve greatness on the international stage.

The closeness of the duo is evident not just in their athletic partnership but also in their personal lives, as both are devoted family men who cherish the time spent together. Their bond and camaraderie have been key factors in their lengthy and successful careers, illustrating the unique synergy that can occur in sports when personal relationships and teamwork align for success.
