Great Britain Wins Gold in Bobsleigh World Cup

Great Britain achieved a historic victory at the IBSF World Cup in Winterberg, winning the four-man bobsleigh event for the first time since 2012, with pilot Brad Hall leading the team to a time of 1:48.07, narrowly beating Germany by just under two-tenths of a second. Hall expressed pride in the team's performance, especially considering the challenges of weather conditions and team members returning from injuries. Meanwhile, in the women's bobsleigh event, Germany secured the top three positions, with Lisa Buckwitz taking gold alongside Kira Lipperheide, edging out Olympic champions Laura Nolte and Deborah Levi. Additionally, 17-year-old British snowboarder Mia Brookes continued her success by winning her second consecutive World Cup event in big air, scoring 95.75 points with a cab 1440 melon trick. Brookes had previously made history as the youngest snowboard world champion in 2023. Both British teams are establishing themselves as formidable competitors in their respective sports.
