IBSF Para Bobsleigh World Cup

Saturday, November 19, and Sunday, November 20, 2022

The sport of Bobsleigh tests an athlete’s strength, finesse, and courage because athletes descend at a high rate of speed down a frozen twisting ice chute. The International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation now offers this same challenge to elite athletes with an impairment, through its Para Bobsleigh sport discipline.

Lake Placid is pleased to host an IBSF Para Sport event yearly to assist with developing Para Bobsled and Skeleton into legitimate recognized international sports with the ultimate goal to be recognized by the IPC for inclusion in future Winter Paralympic Games.
