OriginalJohannes Ludwig is a German luger. He won a gold and a bronze at the 2018 Winter Olympics, a gold at the 2017 World Luge Championships, and a bronze at the 2013 World Luge Championships
Reason
This image is the product of a collaboration between the German Olympic Sports Confederation and Wikimedia Germany, which I'm sure is something we can all get behind. The Winter Olympics are perhaps not as well-represented on the English Wikipedia as they could be, and portraits make great FPs.

Original – The Xbox is a home video game console and the first installment in the Xbox series of consoles manufactured by Microsoft. Announced in 2000, the Xbox, graphically powerful compared to its rivals, featured a standard PC's 733 MHz Intel Pentium III processor. It was also noted for its PC-like size and weight, and was the first console to feature a built-in hard disk. The "Controller S" (codenamed "Akebono"), a smaller, lighter Xbox controller, was originally the standard Xbox controller only in Japan, designed for users with smaller hands.
Reason
Very high quality image displaying the console's and the controller's look
