- Test runs were halted when the section from Curve 13 to the exit of 14 showed an excessive crash risk and could not be controlled safely.
- A temporary wooden plank is narrowing the entry to Curve 14 to force a safer line while permanent fixes are prepared, according to officials.
- The FIL, IBSF, Austria’s federations and operator Olympia World say they are working to implement urgent structural adjustments before the mid‑November review.
- The project rebuilt the lower third, lengthened the out‑run, and added a new women’s start and finish house over roughly 20 months at about €30 million.
- Late‑November bob and skeleton races and early‑December luge events remain in doubt, with athletes noting most trials used the old women’s start and lacked roughly 30 km/h compared with full‑height runs.
