Almost a century after bobsleigh was recognised as an Olympic sport at the 1924 Winter Games, 96 years later at the 2022 Beijing Olympic Winter Games, six disciplines were included in the programme (2-man bobsleigh, 2-woman bobsleigh, 4-man bobsleigh, women's monobob, women's skeleton, and men's skeleton).

For the Olympic silver medallist in 2022, it was his first win in the four-man bobsleigh since 2020, but the next day he added his second win. The German is unstoppable. On the first day, with push athletes Georg Fleischhauer, Erec Bruckert, and Florian Bauer, Lochner relegated his teammate.
