The test programme in Latvia includes a 30-metre sprint, the push of a bobsleigh training device and a long jump from a standing position. Given the contact restrictions imposed by the Covid 19 pandemic, this time the tests will be conducted only on fixed dates and in small groups.
The Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation of Korea has scheduled the selection tests for July 23 and 24 at the indoor ice track of the Olympic Sliding Center in PyeongChang. More information on selection methods can be found on the federation's website www.kbsf.or.kr. Registration will also be possible there soon. ©RWH2020
