During the men's four-man bobsleigh competition, the French team encountered a setback when one of the riders failed to get his foot free before the start, compromising their run. Despite having what was described as a "cracking silver sled," the early mistake prevented them from securing a better result.
Meanwhile, Canadian teams continued their strong performance in the event, with the team under Dearborn unable to improve on the results of their countrymen who had already competed earlier in the day.
