Bobsleigh
Australia’s bobsledders were in action in Germany at the Konigssee European Cup Races.

In the women’s monobob, which will make its Olympic debut in 2022, Breeana Walker won silver against a stacked field of World Cup pilots, only 0.39 seconds off the winner, Christine De Bruin from Canada. Walker was ecstatic at the result after initially struggling to come to terms with the difficult course.

“I found the track fun but extremely challenging, and a podium finish seemed out of reach,” Walker said.

“But I stuck to the plan and hoped things would click at the right time, and they did! I couldn’t be happier.”

Walker also paired with Jamie Scroop in the 2-person bobsleigh, finishing 10th in the first Konigssee Europa Cup and  9th in the second event the following day.

Skeleton
