The 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics further highlighted Zöggeler’s prowess as he secured another gold in the men’s singles, while Germany’s Sylke Otto won gold in the women’s event.

The 2006 Torino Winter Olympics continued the trend with Germany's Felix Loch capturing gold in the men’s singles and Sylke Otto successfully defending her title in the women’s event. This era saw the rise of Loch, who would become a central figure in the sport. At the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, Loch continued his dominance, winning gold, and Natalie Geisenberger achieved gold in the women’s singles.

The 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics saw Loch and Geisenberger repeating their gold medal performances, solidifying their legacies. In the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, Loch earned his third consecutive gold in the men’s singles, and Geisenberger secured her third straight gold in the women’s singles, underlining Germany's remarkable consistency in the sport.

The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics upheld this tradition, with Johannes Ludwig and Natalie Geisenberger earning gold in their respective categories. The German doubles teams also performed exceptionally, further demonstrating Germany's continued dominance in Olympic Luge. This period highlights the exceptional achievements of individual athletes like Zöggeler and Loch and underscores Germany's ongoing strength in the sport.
