International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF)

The International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) is the global governing body for the sports of bobsleigh and skeleton, overseeing international competitions, rules, and athlete development. Bobsleigh involves teams racing down icy tracks in sleds, while skeleton features athletes sliding head-first on small sleds. The IBSF ensures standardized regulations, organizes world championships, and promotes safety and fair play. It also coordinates with national federations to support athletes and grow the sports worldwide. As the sport's authority, the IBSF plays a key role in maintaining the integrity and development of bobsleigh and skeleton at the international level.
