At the 2012 Summer Olympics, he competed in the Men's K-4 1000 metres, finishing in 4th place with the team in the final.[1] Gross teamed up with Max Rendschmidt to win the K-2 1000m at the 2013 World Championships and the 2013 European Championships.[2] They defended their European title in 2014.[2] In June 2015, he competed in the inaugural European Games, for Germany in canoe sprint, more specifically, Men's K-2 1000m with Max Rendschmidt. He earned a silver medal. The team also won the K2 500 m at the 2015 European Championships.[3] At the 2015 World Championships, Gross and Rendschmidt won the men's K-2 1000m.[4] Gross marked the occasion by proposing to his girlfriend.[4]

He represented his country also at the 2016 Summer Olympics and won two gold medals, in K-2 1000 metres and K-4 1000 m events. In the K-2 1000 metres he competed with Max Rendschmidt, while the K-4 team consisted of Gross, Rendschmidt, Tom Liebscher and Max Hoff.[5] That year Gross and Hoff also won the European K2 1000 m event.[6] In 2017, they retained the European title.[7]
