China set to compete in the Skeleton World Cup for the first time
Lake Placid (RWH): The season opener in Lake Placid (USA) will see the People’s Republic of China taking part in the BMW IBSF World Cup for the first time in history. Skeleton athlete Wenqiang Geng, who finished fourth overall in last winter’s IBSF Intercontinental Cup, has been nominated for his first World Cup race of the Olympic season by head coach Jeff Pain. To be eligible to start, the 22-year-old – like all other athletes – must first complete at least two crash-free runs during the official World Cup training session.
Lake Placid is the course where Wenqiang Geng achieved his best results to date: In March 2016, he finished sixth at the IBSF North American Cup and in January 2017 he took fifth place in the Intercontinental Cup.
