Editing Cresta Run (section)

=== Male preserve ===
The exclusion of women from the course, which was enforced until December 2018, dates from the late 1920s and was instituted because of injuries to female racers and the wholly incorrect belief that excessive sledding caused [[breast cancer]]. It came into effect in 1929, though women had been banned from competitive events several years earlier.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/winter-sports/68430002 |title=Cresta Run: Women to race the Grand National for the first time in 103 years |publisher=BBC Sport |date=2024-03-10 |accessdate=2024-03-10}}</ref> Up until 2018, women were only allowed to become "non-active" members. In late 2018, St. Moritz Tobogganing Club meeting members voted by a two-thirds majority to allow women to ride the Cresta Run and become "active" members again.
