The [[luge]] competitions were held on the [[Sarajevo Olympic Bobsleigh and Luge Track]] built on the Trebević mountain. The East German [[Torsten Görlitzer]] and the Italian [[Ernst Haspinger]] dominated the first two rounds of the men's event, but they both lost time in the third round. The Italian [[Paul Hildgartner]], silver medalist in 1980, set the best time of the last two races and became Olympic champion. The podium was completed by the Soviets [[Sergey Danilin]] and [[Valery Dudin]]. This was the first time that East Germany had not won a medal in the men's luge competition at the Olympic Games since 1964.<ref>{{cite web | url = https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/winter/1984/LUG/mens-singles.html | title = Luge at the 1984 Sarajevo Winter Games: Men's Singles | work = sports-reference.com | access-date = November 2, 2014 | archive-date = 18 April 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200418012159/https://www.sports-reference.com/olympics/winter/1984/LUG/mens-singles.html | url-status = dead }}</ref>

The doubles event was very close as the Soviets [[Yevgeny Belousov]] and [[Aleksandr Belyakov (luger)|Aleksandr Belyakov]] were first by 6.7 hundredths of a second after the opening round, but a small mistake at the end of the second and final round cost them the victory.
