The IBSF Para Sport World Cup is an annual international competition series in para bobsleigh, organized by the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF). It serves as the top-tier seasonal circuit for athletes with physical impairments competing in sliding sports.
The IBSF launched the Para Sport World Cup in the 2014–15 season as part of its commitment to developing inclusive sliding sports. [1] The series followed earlier pilot events such as the Prince Kropotkin Cup and was designed to provide regular international competition for para athletes.
The first full season included races in North America and Europe, with growing participation from countries including Canada, Germany, Latvia, Switzerland, and Great Britain.
The World Cup consists of multiple races held at IBSF-sanctioned tracks between November and March. Athletes accumulate points based on their finishing positions in each race, with overall standings determining the season champions.
The competition uses adapted equipment, including monobob sleds with seated cockpits and mechanical launchers to simulate the start phase. [2]
The IBSF Para Sport World Cup is the primary qualification pathway for the IBSF Para Sport World Championships and plays a central role in the IBSF’s campaign for Paralympic inclusion. [3]
Typically World Cup venues include:
Canada's Lonnie Bissonnette, with four overall World Cup titles, is the most successful slider in the history of the event. Corie Mapp of Great Britain has the most overall podium finishes as of 2025, with nine.
Great Britain's Corie Mapp has three overall World Cup titles to Bissonnette's four, but has a record 18 individual race victories in World Cup racing, two ahead of Bissonnette.
