The competition is due to take place in the new state-of-the-art Ice House facility at Lake Placid in the New York state village.

Competing in the Championships acts as one of the qualifying steps for athletes to earn a place on the USA Bobsled national team for the 2021-2022 season.

"We are so excited to kick off the 2022 Olympic season in the new iced facility," said USA Bobsled head coach Mike Kohn.

"We're incredibly grateful for the support from New York State and the Olympic Regional Development Authority to make this dream a reality.

"Push championships offers our athletes the opportunity to showcase their abilities, and we’re looking forward to seeing who rises to the top going into the Olympic year."

The first day of the event will feature the men’s drivers and the women’s push athletes.

The lowest combined time from the best two heats of each discipline will determine the winners.

Women’s drivers and men’s push athletes will then compete on Saturday (July 31).

The lowest combined time from the best driver’s push bar and best monobob push for each athlete will determine the winner in the women’s drivers contest.

The men’s push athlete winner will be the athlete with the lowest combined time from the brakes and one side.

The winter sport athletes will return to Lake Placid to compete in a combination push competition from September 4 to 5, when different combinations of athletes will push together to achieve the quickest time.

The USA Skeleton Push Championships are scheduled for September 29 to 30.

Bobsleigh will feature at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

There will be a total of four events - the two-man, four-man, women's monobob and two-women.

The Xiaohaituo Bobsleigh and Luge Track in the Yanqing district will stage the events.

The competitions are due to take place from February 4 to 20.
