Background
The defending champion was Yun Sung-bin. The silver medalist, Nikita Tregubov, qualified for the Olympics but was not allowed to take a flight to China due to a positive COVID-19 test and had to miss the Olympics.[2][3] The bronze medalist, Dom Parsons, retired from competitions. Grotheer was the 2021 World champion. Alexander Tretyakov, who was also the 2014 Olympic champion, and Alexander Gassner were the silver and bronze medalists, respectively. Martins Dukurs won the 2021–22 Skeleton World Cup, followed by Jungk and Grotheer.
Grotheer won the first two runs, setting the track record in the first one. After the first day, Jungk was 0.7 seconds behind him, closely followed by Yan Wengang and Tratyakov. He won the third run as well, but was only the sixth in the last run, still sufficient for gold. Tretyakov was in the bronze position before the last run, but then Yan was the fastest in the last run and won the bronze medal.
