FIBT World Championships 2011


The FIBT World Championships 2011 took place 14 February – 27 February 2011 in Königssee, Germany, for the fifth time, doing so previously in 1979, 1986, and 1990, and 2004. In 2007, the championships were awarded to Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy over Winterberg Germany, but Cortina withdrew in February 2009 to a series of issues.

Original selection

, Italy, was selected 21–13 over Winterberg, Germany, at the FIBT annual conference in London, England, on 2 June 2007.
It was to have been Cortina's tenth time hosting the event, having done so previously in 1937, 1939, 1950, 1954, 1960, 1966, 1981, 1989, and 1999.
The track was to have undergone a homologation to accommodate skeleton during the 2007–08 World Cup season in order for it to be used for the event, but that did not happen. Skeleton was last competed at Cortina in 1992. A World Cup event was set to take place in January 2009, but was cancelled to technical issues.
On 28 February 2009, it was announced at the world championships in Lake Placid, New York, in the United States that Königssee was selected in cooperation with the FIBT and the Bob- und Schlittenverband für Deutschland.
