The IBSF Pan American Championships are the principle annual bobsleigh and skeleton championships specifically for athletes in the Americas region. The first Championships were held in the 2024 season. [1] The Championships are held on an annual basis within a preselected IBSF World Cup or IBSF North America Cup event, in the so-called race-in-race mode for each discipline. The results of non-Americas athletes at these North America Cup stages (which are otherwise, notwithstanding the name, open races including athletes from all continents) are not counted for the purposes of the Pan American Championships standings.
Like most winter sports, the international season in bobsleigh and skeleton is held across two calendar years, to mirror the winter season in the traditional northern hemisphere heartlands of the sport (North America, Europe and far east Asia) and the Pan American Championships mirror that arrangement. Since its introduction in 2024 the event has generally been split either side of the New year, and shared by the venues at Lake Placid in New York State, in the United States, and Whistler in British Columbia, Canada. However, the winners of both events are considered the champions of the latter year - i.e. Champions crowned in the event at the end of 2024 are effectively considered the 2025 Pan American champions in that event). Notwithstanding this arrangement, athletes from the South American nation of Brazil have won a number of medals.
