A second attempt to successfully test the sliding track which will be used at Pyeongchang 2018 is due to be made next month.

Delegations from both the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) and the International Luge Federation (FIL) visited the Alpensia Sliding Centre in March but could not carry out proper tests as there was not enough ice on the upper section of the course.

Problems with the refrigeration system were blamed as only the lower part of the track could be used.

It was confirmed earlier this month that athletes will carry out second test runs between October 24 and 30.

Both the IBSF and FIL have included Pyeongchang as a host on their respective World Cup calendars for the 2016-17 season, as the build up to the Olympics continues.

The luge competition is scheduled for between February 19 and 20 with bobsleigh and skeleton action set for March 13 and 15.

The competitions will both serve as test events for Pyeongchang 2018.

Any further problems at next month's testing could leave organisers facing a race against time to be ready for both events.
