    Background

    Bermuda first participated in Olympic competition at the

    National Olympic Committees.[5] This was the third time Bermuda had participated in a Winter Olympics.[2] The Bermudian delegation to Nagano consisted of a single luge athlete, Patrick Singleton.[6]

    Luge

    Singleton was 23 years old at the time of the Nagano Olympics, and was making his Olympic debut.[7] The men's singles competition in luge was a four run race, held over two days, 8–9 February, with two runs on each day, and the sum of all four run times determining the final positions.[8] On the first day, Singleton completed his first run in 51.434 seconds,[9] and his second run in 51.579 seconds.[10] Overnight, Singleton sat in 28th place out of 33 competitors.[11] The next day, he completed his third run in 51.839 seconds,[12] and his fourth in 52.243 seconds, meaning he had gotten slower in each successive run.[13] Singleton's final time was 3 minutes and 27.095 seconds, which put him in 27th position.[8] The gold medal was won by Georg Hackl of Germany in 3 minutes and 18.436 seconds, the silver medal was won by Italy's Armin Zöggeler, and the bronze by German Jens Müller.[8]
