Bobsleigh World Championship 2013

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 59th Bobsleigh World Championship took place from January 21 to February 5, 2013 in the Swiss winter sports resort of St. Moritz . The venue was the Olympia Bobrun St. Moritz – Celerina , the oldest natural bobsleigh rink in the world. After 1931, 1935, 1937, 1938, 1939, 1947, 1955, 1957, 1959, 1965, 1970, 1974, 1977, 1982, 1987, 1990, 1997, 2001 and 2007, St. Moritz hosted the Bobsleigh World Championship for the 20th time.

St. Moritz was originally chosen on June 9, 2008 by the congress of the International Bobsleigh and Sledge Federation (FIBT) held in Chianciano Terme as the venue for the 2012 Bobsleigh World Championship. On May 31, 2009, at the FIBT Congress in Moscow, the 2013 World Bobsleigh Championship was awarded to Lake Placid. However, the venues were changed in September 2010. The change was made for cost reasons, as a training week is planned on the Olympic course in Sochi at the end of the 2012/13 season and there are significantly lower transport costs from Switzerland.
