Germany led the medal table, with two medals, one gold and one bronze. There had never before been a tie for a medal in Olympic bobsleigh history, but the Nagano Games featured two, one in each event, meaning that three gold medals, and seven medals total, were awarded.
France's bronze medal, as a part of the tie in the four-man event, was the country's first in Bobsleigh at the Olympics.
