Participation, for each of the men’s and women’s competitions, was limited to a total of 15 athletes each, including the host nation. The NOC quotas were based on the updated FIBT ranking. Qualification was achieved by the results of athletes, who gained a qualification place for their NOC.

Athletes must also meet eligibility criteria, which is explained in detail in the qualification system.[2]
