At the XXIII. During the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang , three bobsleigh competitions were held. The venue was the Olympic Sliding Center , where the skeleton and luge competitions also took place. The facility offered 7,000 spectators; it is two kilometers long and 1.40 meters wide. In 2017, test events for all three sports were held on the track, which cost the equivalent of 115 million US dollars.

There were a total of 80 quota places, 30 each for the two-man and four-man bobsleighs for men and 20 for women’s bobsleigh. This resulted in 170 quota places for the athletes, 130 of them for the men and 40 for the women.
