From the Home Office in Durham, USA
(Sept. 19, 2021) The 2021/2022 IBSF and FIL sliding sport calendars are about as finalized as they’re going to get, so over on this space we’ve now got the full calendar up right here
Some takeaways from the calendar:
- Russia receives the two North American luge races scheduled originally for Whistler & Lake Placid
- As previously talked about, Königssee’s races for FIL and IBSF have been mostly split between Winterberg and Altenberg. If all goes well, Königssee will be back on the calendar for next season.
- FIL Natural Track makes stops in Seiser Alm and Mariazell for the first time in a long time.
- The IBSF North American Cup will run races first for women’s monobob, two-man bobsled, and skeleton for the first few days of competition, then have a one day break, then run the two-woman and four-man races.
We’ll have a detailed daily schedule posted in the coming weeks, and a convenient one page schedule for hanging on your refrigerator, office wall, or whatever in the near future.
