Records
While the IOC does not consider bobsled times eligible for Olympic records, the FIBT does maintain records for both the start and a complete run at each track it competes.
Prior to this competition, the existing Cesana Pariol track records were as follows.
| Type[2] | Date | Team | Time |
|---|---|---|---|

The following track records were established during this event.
| Type[2] | Date | Run | Team | Time |
