Four-man bobsleigh at the 1964 Winter Olympics took place on 5 and 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][2] 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.
Second place Austria never had an individual run which was quicker than third best, but their consistency earned them the silver medal.
