Gina Lückenkemper Open to Bobsleigh Try After Cortina Instagram Photos

She says her priority is track through the 2028 Olympics, with any bobsleigh trial only a possibility.

Overview

  • Gina Lückenkemper appeared on Instagram in bob gear on the Cortina d'Ampezzo track alongside Alexandra Burghardt, posing as a push athlete.
  • Burghardt’s caption teased a two-woman bob, referencing her own 2022 Olympic silver as a brakewoman for pilot Mariama Jamanka.
  • Lückenkemper told Sport1 that “everything is possible” and she would “definitely” try bobsleigh, but no trial or switch has been arranged.
  • In a BILD interview, she said the photo was overinterpreted and confirmed she has not yet ridden in a bob, though Olympian Laura Nolte has offered to take her for a run.
  • The sprinter, a Paris 2024 relay bronze medalist, is targeting Los Angeles 2028 in athletics as fans and bob athletes react positively to the idea.
