This year and next year, the Free State of Bavaria is sponsoring five international competitions on the Altenberg luge and bobsleigh track in the Eastern Ore Mountains. Interior Minister Armin Schuster (CDU) presented the Wintersport Altenberg GmbH with a total of 180,000 euros on the sidelines of the Bobsleigh and Skeleton World Cup.
"The Altenberg Bobsleigh and Skeleton World Cup has been a permanent fixture in the international winter sports calendar for years," said Schuster according to the press release. The state government's support for top-class sport is also a commitment to the location and top-class sport in Bavaria and its globally successful ambassadors.
