Langen was slowed by injuries to his Achilles tendon, which required two surgeries. His injuries prevented competing in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin. He was a bobsleigh television commentator in Germany until promoted to head coach of the Germany national team in June 2010.
Langen also won twelve medals at the FIBT World Championships with eight golds (Two-man: 1993, 1995, 1996, 2000, 2001; Four-man: 1991 (as a brakeman), 1996, 2001) and four silvers (Two-man: 1999, 2004; Four-man: 2000, 2004).
He also won the Bobsleigh World Cup combined event twice (1995–96, 1998–99), the two-man event three times (1995–96, 1998–99, 2003–04), and the four-man event once (1998–99).
