In addition to its discovery potential, the LHC offers unique possibilities for precise measurements in the electroweak sector. In the present note, results of several electroweak analyses are presented; measurements of the top quark and W boson masses, triple gauge couplings as well as forward-backward asymmetry measurements. All electroweak measurements at the LHC benefit from large cross sections due to the high CM energy, which combined with the high expected luminosities gives rise to very large data samples.
