A total of 50 quota spots are available to athletes to compete at the games. A maximum 30 men and 20 women may qualify. The qualification is based on the world rankings of January 20, 2014. Athletes must compete in five different races on three different tracks during the 2012/13 season or 2013/14 season. Male athletes must be in the top 60 of the world rankings, while women need to be in the top 45. Each continent (Africa, Americas, Asia, Europe and Oceania) and the hosts are allowed to enter a sled provided they meet the above standard.
Races from October 1, 2013, until January 19 will apply to qualification for the Olympics. In general this means that the Olympic field is established by using the first seven world cup races of the 2013-14 season, but also includes results from intercontinental, Europe, and America cup races. Unused or reallocated spots will be filled by January 27, 2014.
