===Monobob=== A single-person bobsleigh is called a "monobob". Single-person sleds were introduced into international competition for both adaptive bobsleigh (for athletes who are able to drive a sled but not push) and as a youth sport (for younger athletes who have not yet developed the ability to push a heavy two- or four-person sled). After the [[2018 Winter Olympics]], the International Olympic Committee and the IBSF agreed to add women's monobob as an Olympic sport for the [[2022 Winter Olympics]], so that there would be an equal number of women's and men's events in bobsleigh. Prior to the 2020β21 competitive season, monobobs were traditionally constructed on one-piece chassis. Starting with the 2020β21 season, competitors in IBSF-sanctioned races must use articulated (two-section) monobobs manufactured by the IBSF's sole source sled builder, iXent. The sled must weigh a minimum of {{convert|162|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} without the athlete (but including timing equipment and any ballast weights) and a maximum of {{convert|247|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} including the athlete; runners are the same as for two-person bobsleighs.<ref name="monobob-rules-2020">{{cite web | url = https://www.ibsf.org/images/federation/Rules_and_Regulations/IBSF_International_Womens_Monobob_Rules_2020_E.pdf | author = International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation | title = International Women's Monobob Rules 2020 | date = October 2020 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20210122114852/https://www.ibsf.org/images/federation/Rules_and_Regulations/IBSF_International_Womens_Monobob_Rules_2020_E.pdf | archive-date = 22 January 2021 | url-status = live }}</ref> This implies a maximum athlete weight limit of {{convert|85|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}.
