President Raimonds Vejonis, on Friday, September 21, 2018, at the Riga Castle meeting with the representatives of the International Luge Sports Federation, emphasized the need for the development of a sports infrastructure to respect the principle of sustainability: "It should not be possible to build ever new sports tracks and build ever new infrastructure for each Olympic Games, not knowing what will happen to these investments after the race has run out. For the future, we have to look for ways to develop and use the existing ones ahead of time, because we also need to manage the sport in a sustainable way, "stressed the President. At the meeting, the officials also agreed that it was necessary to develop closer cooperation between different countries and national federations, because only together could be done. more. One of the ways that such cooperation could be strengthened is the Latvian Campaign Sports Federation and the International Luge Sports Federation in Sigulda, in order to establish a new development cooperation center there. This would allow developing countries to use the Sigulda track as a home route for track training. The state president noted that there is ongoing work on improving the Sigulda Bobsleigh and luge trail to co-host Sweden with the 2026 Winter Olympics.
