Australia's bobsleigh gold medal hopeful Bree Walker will race for the first time at the 2026 Milan-Cortina Olympic sliding course, with test events underway this weekend.
Bobsleigh and skeleton competitors will be out on the ice at the redeveloped Eugenio Monti Sliding Centre in Cortina d'Ampezzo to compete in the season-opening World Cup, which doubles as an Olympic test event.
They won't race in front of any spectators with the surrounding area still a construction site ahead of the Games, which run from February 6 to 22.
