On The Road To Milano-Cortina 2026:
Natalie Geisenberger Becomes Eurosport Olympic Expert
Cortina (FIL/29 Oct 2025) Germany's most successful luger Natalie Geisenberger is becoming a TV expert and will be joining Eurosport's winter sports team this season. The six-time Olympic champion will be joining the prominent team of experts alongside Olympic champions Martin Schmitt (ski jumping), Viktoria Rebensburg (alpine skiing), and Anni Friesinger-Postma (speed skating), and will use her experience and expertise to cover the FIL EBERSPÄCHER Luge World Cup and the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina for the international sports channel.
After four Olympic appearances as an athlete, the nine-time world champion is looking forward to her new role as an expert: "It's great to join a team that includes such winter sports legends. I'm sure one or two of them will be able to give me some advice. My goal is to share the fascination of our sport, to take viewers along with me into the ice track, so to speak, and to show them the precision required in luge. And of course, I hope for a successful luge festival from a German perspective, even though the other nations have certainly made up ground," says Natalie Geisenberger.
For Jochen Gundel, Director of Sports GSA at Warner Bros. Discovery, Geisenberger is a perfect fit for the team: "Natalie was not only an incredibly successful athlete, but she also always thought outside the box. With her fresh perspective on luge, we have the opportunity to bring this sport even closer to the audience in a more tangible and emotional way and to tell the many exciting stories of the athletes with whom Natalie herself competed until two years ago."
The TV channel Eurosport is part of Warner Bros. Discovery Sports Europe, which broadcasts the FIL EBERSPÄCHER Luge World Cup and the Winter Olympics not only live and in detail on TV, but also on its streaming platforms discovery+ and HBO Max (launching in January 2026 in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, and Italy).
