Italy’s capital Rome will be venue of the 2018 Congress of the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation IBSF, said an IBSF press release sent earlier today. The venue was decided by the national federation’s delegates at this year’s annual IBSF congress in Salt Lake City (USA).
Rome is not the first time host of the IBSF Congress. The Italian Winter Sports Federation (Federazione Italiana Sport Invernali, FISI) so far hosted the IBSF congress twelve times since 1950 in Cortina d’Ampezzo, venue of the 1956 Olympic Winter Games. The last IBSF congress in Italy was 2008 in Chianciano Terme in the Tuscany region.
The exact date of the 2018 IBSF Congress is still to be decided.
