The International Federation of Bobsleigh and Tobogganing says it has denied two more protests questioning the legality of the helmet Britain's Amy Williams used to win the Olympic women's skeleton gold medal.

Protests were filed after the race Friday by Canada and the United States. The U.S. also filed one on Thursday.

Each protest said Williams' helmet does not conform to aerodynamic standards. The FIBT disagreed with each argument.
