Company description and purpose of company International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation (IBSF)

The International Bobsleigh & Skeleton Federation (IBSF), originally Fédération Internationale de Bobsleigh et de Tobogganing (FIBT), was founded on November 23, 1923 by the delegates of Great Britain, France and Switzerland as well as by the representatives of Canada and the United States of America at an international Congress established in Paris, France. The name change from FIBT to IBSF was announced at the association congress in Ghent / Belgium in June 2015. The IBSF is based in Lausanne, Switzerland. The beginnings of bobsleigh as an organized, active discipline go back to the time before the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. However, the reason for the establishment of an association was the introduction of the Winter Games in 1924 and the recognition of bobsleigh as an Olympic discipline. On November 23, 1923, the Count of France, Comte Renaud de la Frégeolière, signed the document fulfilling the mandate of the International Olympic Committee. Renaud de la Frégeolière was elected President and held that office for 37 years. Franz Reichel, honored athlete and publisher of the French newspaper “Le Figaro”, was entrusted with the establishment of an international bobsleigh association. Other delegates were Major BM Patton (Great Britain), Allan Muhr (USA) and Piere Golay (Switzerland). In the early years, numerous bobsleigh runs shot out of the earth across Europe and North America. These railways had different fates. Some were destroyed during the Second World War, others fell victim to the increasing expansion of industrial and residential areas. With the construction of artificial ice rinks in the sixties, the continuity of the sport was guaranteed. Now all railways, with the exception of the one in St. Moritz, Switzerland, are artificially frozen. Skeleton was an Olympic discipline at the Games in St. Moritz in 1928 and 1948. In 2002 (Salt Lake City), skeleton was again recognized as an Olympic discipline. Women who once competed in five-man bobsleigh races in the early years of the sport began to compete in official IBSF races in 1998. The first women's bobsleigh world championships took place in 2000, and in 2002 women's bobsleigh was recognized as an Olympic discipline. In 2010 the President of the IBSF, Ivo Ferriani, announced his full support for the Para-Sport Initiative and formed the Para-Sport Committee. In May 2014 the IBSF was recognized by the IPC as an international association for para-bobsleigh and para-skeleton with the corresponding rights and privileges. Men's and women's two-man bobsleigh races as well as men's and women's skeleton competitions were also on the program of the first Youth Winter Olympics in 2012 in Innsbruck. From now on, bobsleigh runs are one of the essential facilities of the Olympic Winter Games every four years at new Olympic venues. IBSF competitions are held on 14 lanes in 10 countries. The IBSF holds races in 8 disciplines: two-man bobsleigh, four-man bobsleigh, women bobsleigh, monobob bobsleigh, men skeleton and women skeleton, para skeleton and para bobsleigh In addition to the Olympic Games and World Championships, the IBSF organizes World Cup, European Cup, Intercontinental Cup and North American Cup races as well as recently introduced new events - youth series (including the Youth Winter Games) and para-sports competitions.
