Salt Lake City (RWH) Italy’s capital Rome will be venue of the 2018 Congress of the International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation IBSF.
This was decided by the national federation’s delegates at this year’s annual IBSF congress in Salt Lake City (USA).
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 will be communicated at a later time. ©RWH2017
