    PRESS RELEASE – Preview for the BMW IBSF World Cup Lake Placid 4 December 2019 Old and new faces alike at the BMW IBSF World Cup 2019/2020 All World Champions and defending title holders to take part in the action Lake Placid (RWH): The BMW IBSF World Cup will welcome the new 2019/2020 season with old and new faces alike. A total of 35 bobsleigh teams and 52 skeleton athletes from 23 nations are registered to compete at the World Cup season opener in Lake Placid. The current Bobsleigh Olympic Champions, World Champions and defending World Cup title holders, Mariama Jamanka (GER, 2-woman Bobsleigh) and Francesco Friedrich (GER, 2-man and 4-man Bobsleigh), will both be travelling to Lake Placid. Olympic Champion Jamanka won her first ever overall World Cup and World Championship titles last winter. Friedrich became the first ever bobsleigh athlete to win all of the season's eight races in the 2-man Bobsleigh. Two fresh new faces will also be contributing to the German bobsleigh team’s efforts at the BMW IBSF World Cup: The current U23 World Champion Kim Kalicki will compete in her first World Cup races in Lake Placid. Laura Nolte, the 2016 Youth Olympic Champion, will then make her début in January for the race on her home track in Winterberg. One familiar face returning to the World Cup will be bobsleigh pilot Kaillie Humphries, who missed last season. The 34-year-old athlete, who won Olympic gold for Canada in 2010 and 2014 and also won two World Championship titles and four overall World Cups, has been competing for the USA since the start of the season.

ABSTRACT This dissertation presents a two-part study of sporting practices of Southern Ontario Black women, between the 1920s and the 1940s, aimed at developing a socio- cultural history of sport that includes narratives from marginalized groups. Given sport’s traditional position as a masculine domain, as well as Canada’s status as a patriarchal White supremacy, the accounts presented in this work centre Black women’s sport experiences through an intersectional perspective.
