Australia's Bobsleigh and Skeleton athletes have competed in the World Cup event in Innsbruck, Austria, with Olympian Jackie Narracott highlighting the Australian performances.
Narracott finished the Skeleton event in 15th place, a personal best finish on the Igls track, 1.24 second behind the event winner.
"Relief, happiness and pride all mixed into one", Narracott commented after the race.
"15th (my best result here) and a huge PB is everything I hoped for but more than I was expecting out of this race."
"Leaving Igls feeling good for the first time after having learnt lots. Time for Königssee!"
Also in action for Australia in the Skeleton was Nicholas Timmings in 25th place.
The two-woman Bobsleigh team of Bree Walker and Sarah Blizzard finished 16th, 2.34 seconds behind first place.
The next stop on the World Cup tour will be in Königssee, Germany, from January 24-26.
