The four-man competition in bobsleigh at the 2026 Winter Olympics will be held on 21 February (heats 1 and 2) and 22 February (heats 3 and 4), at the Cortina Sliding Centre in Cortina d'Ampezzo.[1]
Background
The defending champions were Francesco Friedrich, Thorsten Margis Arndt Bauer and Alexander Schüller. Friedrich and Schüller qualified for the event, but in 2026 they joined by Matthias Sommer and Felix Straub. If they won, Friedrich would become the first person to win three gold medals in four-man bobsleigh and the first person to win both the two and four-man competitions in three consecutive Winter Olympics. Margis also qualified for the event, but moved to the four-man crew of Johannes Lochner – the 2022 silver medalist alongside Florian Bauer, Christopher Weber and Christian Rasp; for 2026 Lochner and Margis were joined by Georg Fleischhauer and Jörn Wenzel. The bronze medalists were Justin Kripps, Ryan Sommer, Cam Stones and Ben Coakwell. Kripps retired from competitions. Lochner won the 2025–26 Bobsleigh World Cup, having won three out of seven four-man races that season; further three were won by Friedrich. The quartet of Friedrich, Schüller, Sommer and Straub were the 2025 World champions.
