17th! After my World Cup season had gone so well, I had many aspirations about a top 6 result, but it wasn’t to be! There was one corner that killed my speed and at this level that was enough to put me behind! I eventually did work the corner out, but only on the last day! Although my last run showed my goals were realistic as it was the 6th fastest! I’ve learnt that I must thoroughly know every corner of a track, and that is one of the keys to success in Skeleton!
I also competed earlier in the week for Great Britain in the team race, in which one men’s and ones women’s Skeleton and bobsleigh have one run. We came 4th after Nicola Minicello drove the fastest bob run of the day, which is a great achievement considering that the race included the Germans on their own track!
The highlight of the week was my season long room mate doing the double and as well as being raked number 1 in the world he also became World Champion!! So once again we heard the British national anthem! Well done Kristan!
So not quite the end of the season yet, with the British Championships in Igls next week!
