Four-man bobsleigh at the 1964 Winter Olympics took place on 5 & 7 February at Bob und Rodelbahn Igls, Innsbruck, Austria. This event was last run at the 1956 Winter Olympics as bobsleigh was not part of the 1960 games.[1]
The winning athletes were those who posted the shortest total time over four separate runs. Canada were surprise gold medal winners, having first entered a bobsleigh team in a competitive event only 8 years previous. Favourites for the event were the Italians who finished in 3rd & 4th. Second place Austria never had an individual run which was quicker than third best, but yet their consistency earnt them the silver medal.[2]
