The British skeleton team’s new helmets have been deemed non-compliant with International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) regulations concerning their shape. This decision, handed down by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), means the athletes will not be permitted to use the new headgear during competitions. The skeleton team is considered a strong contender for medals for Team GB at the upcoming Winter Olympics, raising concerns about the impact of this equipment restriction. The CAS ruling specifically addresses the aerodynamic profile of the helmets, finding them to be outside the approved parameters.
