Mateusz Sochowicz (born 28 February 1996) is a Polish luger.

In early November 2021, he sustained injuries while training near Beijing in preparation for the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Having been given the green light, he began his training run but encountered a closed gate and found that jumping over it, as he initially hoped, would not be possible.

However, he was able to somewhat reduce the impact of the crash, resulting in a fractured left kneecap and his right leg being cut to the bone.
