Steven Langton

Steven Langton was born on April 15, 1983, in Malden, Massachusetts. He attended Northeastern University, graduating cum laude in 2006 with a degree in Business Management and Entrepreneurship. During his time at Northeastern, Langton was a track and field athlete, serving as team captain for two years. His personal bests included 6.49 seconds in the indoor 55m dash, 10.58 seconds in the outdoor 100m dash, and 7.04m in the long jump. Inspired by the 2006 Winter Olympics, he transitioned to bobsledding.

Langton’s bobsledding career features three Olympic participations: Vancouver 2010, Sochi 2014, and PyeongChang 2018. At the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics, he earned silver medals in both the two-man and four-man bobsleigh events. These achievements marked the first time in 62 years that an American sled won an Olympic medal in the two-man event and the first time an American team secured medals in both two-man and four-man events at a single Olympics. He also achieved significant success at the FIBT World Championships, winning gold in both two-man and four-man events in 2012, and bronze in four-man in 2011 and 2013. The 2012 victories were historic, being the first time an American sled won two-man gold and both events at a World Championships.

Throughout his career, Langton accumulated 21 World Cup medals, comprising 11 gold, 7 silver, and 3 bronze. He won the inaugural World Push Championships in Cesana Pariol, Italy, in 2011. After his competitive career, Langton took on roles such as Athlete Advisory Council Representative for USA Bobsled & Skeleton from November 2018 to January 2022. He also works in real estate, having been promoted to director at Cushman & Wakefield following his Olympic career, combining his athletic resilience with professional endeavors.
