Britain’s skeleton hopefuls at the Winter Olympics have suffered a blow as the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) denied the team’s appeal over a ban imposed on a new helmet they hoped to use in Cortina.
The sport’s governing body, the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF), banned the new helmet as it said it “did not comply with the IBSF skeleton rules based on its shape”.
