- Bobsled, skeleton federation voted Tuesday to extend the sanctions that keep Russian teams out of the competition.
- Russian teams will remain banned from this season’s World Cup bobsled races.
- The world championships are presumably covered by the same restriction, although the source does not present that extension as a separate confirmed decision.
- Russia is the country whose teams are excluded, and the source identifies Russia’s war with Ukraine as the basis for the sanctions.
Why it matters: Russian teams remain excluded after one governing body’s Tuesday vote, while the world championships are only presumptively covered. The material distinction is scope: the source clearly states the season-long World Cup racing ban but leaves the championship decision less definite.
