Fast Radios continued support of USA Luge marks a fifteen-year relationship and a fifth Olympics cycle for the company, having worked with USA Luge during the Games in Vancouver, Sochi and Pyeongchang.
“As USA Luge is the fastest sport on ice, it’s only natural for Fast Radios to have a hand in helping luge athletes be the fastest they can be down the track,” said Bill Richards, vice president, Fast Radios. “We remain committed to supporting USA Luge and its athletes as they prepare for the upcoming competition seasons leading up to the 2026 Cortina Winter Games.”
