No World Cup bobsled, skeleton in North America next season
By TIM REYNOLDSApril 1, 2021 GMT
Bobsledders and skeleton athletes from North America might be logging a lot of miles in the looming Olympic year, without any close-to-home races to help them out.
The International Bobsled and Skeleton Federation released its tentative World Cup schedule for next season Thursday, with no races in the U.S. or Canada on the slate. That could be a huge disadvantage for American and Canadian sliders, who may have to spend three months or more in Europe and Asia going into the Beijing Olympics next February.
North America won t host bobsled or skeleton races next season
