He did not qualify for any individual finals.[4] He competed with the Swiss team that placed fourth at the 2023 European Championships.[5] He also qualified for the all-around final and finished seventh.[6]
Langenegger was initially selected to be the Swiss team's alternate at the 2023 World Championships in Antwerp.[7] However, Langenegger was moved onto the team after Benjamin Gischard sustained a knee injury.[8] The Swiss team finished seventh during the qualification round and earned a team berth for the 2024 Olympic Games.[9] Then in the team final, the Swiss team placed fifth which was the country's best finished at the World Artistic Gymnastics Championships since winning bronze in 1954.[10] Individually, Langenegger qualified for the all-around final where he finished 14th.[11] After the World Championships, he competed with Stefanie Siegenthaler at the 2023 Swiss Cup Zürich, and they placed tenth in the mixed-pair competition.[12]
