For the male competition, the best 12 nations based on World Cup rankings may

Canadian/Indian sleds used for transport.
In 2010, the IFPS restricted the materials with which sleds are permitted to be made. Sled
must be made of steel; the belt, however, may be made of plastics, as it helps sled to secure the
athlete during a run.
