No, Lake Placid won the bid to be the back-up host over St Moritz and Igls. I don’t believe any other track expressed interest.

Only the world championship results. World Cup should be safe because the positive happened at the start of this month.

Pre-homolgation testing was completed successfully. Homolgation testing is scheduled for November.
