- Russian teams will remain banned from World Cup bobsled races this season after a sliding governing body extended sanctions tied to Russia's war with Ukraine.
- Bobsled and Skeleton Federation voted Tuesday to renew the sanctions; the season's World Cup races are covered, while exclusion from the world championships is described as presumptive.
Why it matters: Russian teams remain excluded from the World Cup bobsled calendar for the full season, while the championships are apparently included only on a presumptive basis. The Tuesday vote therefore confirms a season-long exclusion, with a broader ban for the world championships still less clearly stated.
