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, and the representatives of Canada and the United States, meeting at an International Congress in Paris, France. The name change from FIBT to IBSF has been announced at the Federation's Congress in Ghent/Belgium in June 2015. The IBSF headquarter is in Lausanne, Switzerland. The IBSF conducts competitions in 8 disciplines: 2-man Bobsleigh, 4-man Bobsleigh, Women’s Bobsleigh, Monobob, Men’s Skeleton and Women’s Skeleton, Para-skeleton and Para-bobsleigh. In addition to the Olympic Winter games and World Championships, the IBSF conducts World Cup, Europe Cup, Intercontinental Cup and North American Cup events, as well as relatively new events – Youth Series (including Youth Olympic Games) and Para-sport events.
