His Serene Highness Prince Albert II has been recognised in Saint-Moritz with induction into the Hall of Fame of the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation, marking a significant tribute to his long-standing contribution to winter sport and Olympic competition…
The ceremony took place at the historic Olympia Bob Run, the world’s oldest still-operating natural ice track, where the Swiss resort regularly hosts elite international events on its frozen lake and legendary sliding course. The Hall of Fame honours athletes and figures who have shaped the development and global profile of bobsleigh and skeleton.
HSH Prince Albert II was inducted alongside five other personalities whose careers span Olympic, World and European achievements. A five-time Olympian, the Prince competed in bobsleigh at five consecutive Winter Games, representing Monaco on the international stage and helping raise the profile of sliding sports beyond their traditional heartlands.
Beyond competition, his influence has continued through leadership roles, including serving as President of the Monegasque Olympic Committee and the national federation for bobsleigh and skeleton, reinforcing Monaco’s presence within the Olympic movement and winter sports governance.
The recognition underlines a unique sporting legacy that combines elite athletic achievement with long-term commitment to the promotion of sport, international cooperation and Olympic values. For Monaco, the honour also reflects the Principality’s enduring connection to high-level competition and its visibility within the global sporting community.
