Results
Twenty-six sleds were entered in the four-man event, with one, from New Zealand, not starting the first run after crashing in training.[3]
After the third run, only the top twenty sleds by combined time were allowed to compete in the final run. The final ranking was determined by the combined time of each sled over the four runs.[2]
