Kripps previously won gold in the 2-man event at PyeongChang 2018, a victory shared alongside Germany (Friedrich and Margis). Kripps became the third male bobsleigher representing Canada to take multiple Olympic medals, after Pierre Lueders and Lascelles Brown (both with two medals). Friedrich became the third pilot to defend his Olympic title in the 4-man, after Meinhard Nehmer (GDR, 1976 and 1980) and Lange (2002 and 2006). Germany extending their gold medal tally in the 4-man Olympic bobsleigh event to seven.
