Skeleton world champion Matt Weston has played down the significance of a possible ban on the new helmets the British athletes were due to wear at the Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina.
The British Bobsleigh and Skeleton Association (BBSA) lodged an appeal on Wednesday with the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) against a decision by the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) to outlaw the team’s helmets, which have been ruled to be not compliant with existing regulations.
