The FIBT World Championships 2012 will take place at the bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track in Lake Placid, New York for the tenth time, doing so previously in 1949, 1961, 1969, 1973, 1978, 1983, 1997 (Skeleton), 2003 (Men's bobsleigh), and 2009.
Lake Placid was awarded the 2013 championships at the 2009 FIBT Annual Congress meeting in Moscow on 31 May 2009, but the 2013 location was switched to St. Moritz, Switzerland in December 2010. The FIBT switched the locations to accommodate a shorter trip for athletes and equipment to Sochi, Russia in 2013 so that athletes will gain practice time on the 2014 Olympic track in Sochi.[1]
