Sophia Kirkby, born June 14, 2001, in Ray Brook, New York, is an American luger who competed in both singles and women's doubles. She began luge at age 7, influenced by her father James, a former US Air Force bobsledder. Kirkby joined the USA Luge development program at 10 and the junior national team at 16. She won the US national singles championships in 2020, 2023, and 2024 before transitioning to doubles. Her achievements include bronze medals in the 2022 and 2024 World Championships in doubles with partner Shevon Forgan, a silver medal in the 2024 World Championships team relay, and seven World Cup medals in the 2024/25 season, including a gold. At the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympics, she placed fifth in the historic debut of women's doubles luge.
Kirkby honors her late father, who died in June 2024 from prostate cancer, by inscribing his last words on her gloves during races. She also works as a ceramist, selling handmade pins representing women's doubles at the Olympics. Active on Instagram, she shares her sporting and artistic activities. Based in Lake Placid, New York, she participated in social events during the 2026 Olympics, describing herself as “the most eligible bachelorette” in the village. Her career reflects resilience and innovation, pioneering women's doubles luge at the Olympic level while balancing sport and creative pursuits.
