Sigulda bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sigulda bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track
The Sigulda bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track is located in Sigulda, Latvia. Currently, the track manager is Dainis Dukurs, former bobsleigh brakeman and the father of skeleton racers Martins and Tomass Dukurs. ==History== Sledding took place in Sigulda as early as 1887.〔(History of sport in Sigulda in English. ) – accessed February 21, 2008.〕 Several alpine skiing venues were held near the track following World War II.〔 By the late 1960s, the city government of Sigulda approved construction of a new track, which was finally completed in 1986.〔 It was built for the needs of Soviet bobsledders and lugers. Although skeleton wasn't initially in the building plan, Sigulda has hosted World Cup races in skeleton in the 2000s. Also, luge competitions are hosted in Sigulda each year, however, the track can't host four-man bobsleigh races, therefore there haven't been any Bobsleigh World Cup or World Championship races hosted in Sigulda. Zintis Ekmanis and the original track designer has designed a new layout which would change two curves and make four-man bobsleigh races possible, though lugers are not happy with this idea 〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher = TvNET ) 〕 because this may render the track unusable for women's singles and men's doubles lugers. Also, Dainis Dukurs has said in an interview for Sporta Avīze that there was an experiment involving Juris Šics, Andris Šics, Tomass Dukurs and Martins Dukurs, in which the quartet drove with a four-man bobsleigh without crashing. Dukurs stated that this proves that the track is, in fact, suitable for four-man teams, but to make it perfect for bobsleigh, most of the track should be rebuilt. Reconstruction was expected to be completed in 2010.〔(Discussion in eSports.lv ) 〕 However the idea was abandoned due to costs and uncertainty that such investment would pay off. The track will undergo major renovation after 2014 season.〔http://sportacentrs.com/ziemas_sports/26022014-siguldas_trasei_lidz_nakamas_sezonas_star〕 Also, an artificial ice start estacade was built in summer of 2008.
