With three gold medals and a total of six podium finishes, the German athletes were the most successful nation.

Quota places
The quota places were awarded in the Luge World Cup . A maximum of three men and women in single-seaters and two toboggan doubles could qualify per national association. The national NOKs decided on the occupation of the quota places. The starting field was limited to 40 places for single-seaters for men, 30 for single-seaters for women and 20 double-seaters. If the relay had also qualified, this also meant that possibly non-qualified starting places of nations were converted to quota ranks, although the athletic performance was lacking.
In addition, the host South Korea was entitled to at least one quota place in each of the races, even if this was not achieved in terms of athletics, as in the luge doubles. The quota places were finally allocated after the World Cup race in Lake Placid . The following owners of the other previously unqualified places were able to move up to places that were not used by national associations. In order to prevent incidents such as the death of Georgian luge driver Nodar Kumaritashvili in 2010, all potential tobogganists had to prove a certain number of high-class races or a certain number of training races on the Pyeongchang bobsleigh and toboggan run and thus their technical suitability.
On January 30, 2018, the composition of the field in the two single-seater categories was announced.
- * - Starting place reached via the qualified team relay
- ** - starting place reached via a fixed starting place as host
- # - unoccupied starting place
- ## - Quota place reached, which could not be filled due to the doping bans of Russian athletes
- italic - not qualified, possible successor
