Walker and Reddingius 13th at World Championships

16/3/2025

 
Picture
2022 Olympians Bree Walker and Kiarra Reddingius have finished their competition season placing 13th in the two-woman event at the 2025 IBSF World Championships in Lake, Placid, USA.
 
Walker was impacted by illness for the entire event, the QAS pilot was ninth in monobob during the previous week. Both the two woman and monobob competitions were four-run combined time major championship format over two days.
 
The pair were 14th fastest in run one, two and three, and in the fourth and final run improved to the 11th best time of the round, posting a four-run combined time of 3:50.75 seconds.
 
The event winner 4.75 seconds ahead of Walker and Reddingius and leading a German clean sweep were Laura Nolte and Deborah Levi, their teammates Kim Kalicki and Leonie Fiebig were second and Lisa Buckwitz and Kira Lipperheide third.
 
Australia also competed in the four-man bobsleigh, with pilot Rhys Peters joined by Jermayne Takapautolo, Jack Pennington and Benjamin Forst.
 
Unfortunately in the first run they crashed just after the halfway point, sliding the remainder of the track to the finish line in 24th.
 
The Australian sled did complete the run, so they were eligible for a second run, but it was cancelled due to warm conditions. They did not make the result cut for runs three and four.

Walker ties for World Cup monobob gold in Lillehammer

9/2/2025

QAS bobsleigh pilot Bree Walker has secured her first World Cup victory of the season and second of her career, with an impressive win in Lillehammer, Norway, sharing the gold medal with American Kaysha Love in a dead heat, the first tie in monobob World Cup history.
 
Walker opened with a time of 54.56 seconds in the first heat, recording the second fastest time of the round, trailing 2022 Olympic champion Laura Nolte of Germany by only 0.01 seconds.
 
In the final run, Walker again posted the second fastest time in 54.58 seconds, giving her a combined time of 1:49.14, to equal American Kaysha Love. Nolte, the last competitor down the 1994 Olympic track, was unable to surpass Walker and Love, slipping 0.07 seconds behind in third place.
 
The 2022 Olympian now has 11 career monobob World Cup podiums.
 
“Really happy to be able to secure my first win of the season after being so close a few times” said the 32-year-old from Queensland.
 
“I really love sliding here, I was feeling really good coming into this race, but I knew it would be a very competitive race as always, so I just went out there and focused on pushing really fast and driving well and was able to come away with the win so very happy with that.”
 
“Lillehammer is a special place for me, I came away with my first career bobsleigh medals in European Cup races in the 2018-2019 season, and to also secure my second World Cup medal on this track after a silver last season, I really love the track and I enjoy sliding here.
 
“We are going into tomorrow’s two-woman race with the same expectations I had today, to push hard and put down two consistent drives, and see what the results are on the other side.”
 
Fellow QAS pilot Sarah Blizzard finished in 22nd place.
 
The win sees Walker move back into second place on the monobob World Cup standings on 1371 points, trailing Lisa Buckwitz of Germany on 1437 points, with Nolte third on 1371.
 
Crash for Walker & Reddingius in two-woman
 
In the two-woman event, unfortunately 2022 Olympians Bree Walker and brakewoman Kiara Reddingius suffer a bad crash near the end of the track, sliding the last section to the finish line on their side.

The Australia number one sled was fifth fastest off the start and was placed top 10 by the intermediate times just before crashing on the lower track. 
 
The fall resulted in the pair finishing in 21st place and missing the top-20 cut for the second run.
 
Sarah Blizzard and Ashley Werner were also in action for Australia finishing in 20th.
 
The final monobob and two-woman World Cup race of the season is scheduled on the same track in Norway next weekend on February 15-16.

Walker narrowly misses monobob podium in Innsbruck

19/1/2025

 
Picture
QAS bobsleigh pilot has finished in fourth place in the World Cup monobob event on the Igls track at Innsbruck, Austria, missing the podium by just 0.18 seconds.
 
The 2022 Olympian had the third fastest opening run in 54.27 seconds, and in the second run had the fourth best time in 54.42.
 
Her two-tun combined time was 1:48.69, putting Walker 0.28 seconds behind event winner Lisa Buckwitz of Germany, American Kaysha Love was second and German Laura Nolte third.
 
Fellow QAS pilot Sarah Blizzard finished 23rd.
 
After four monobob World Cup events this season, Walker is ranked third on the standings, and Blizzard is in 17th.
 
A two-woman event also took place in Innsbruck, with Walker teaming up with brakewoman Kiara Reddingius, finishing in 11th place. Sarah Blizzard and brakewoman Ashleigh Werner were 21st.
 
Germany clean swept the two-woman podium with Laura Nolte/Deborah Levi first, Kim Kalicki/Leonie Fiebig second, and Lisa Buckwitz/Neele Schuten third.
 
After the race Walker commented.
 
“Always love sliding in Igls, very tight racing and no room for errors which makes for an exciting weekend.”
 
“Of course I would have loved to finish on the podium in the monobob, but it didn’t quite come together in the last run so had to settle for fourth.
 
“The two-man didn’t really come together either. Still learning our new sled and trying new things. Sometimes it pays off and sometimes you learn, so we will take the learnings and apply it for the coming races.”
 
The IBSF tour is returning back to St Moritz, Switzerland, for a second time in as many weeks, with three events taking place on the historic handcut ice Cresta Run. The first monobob race will run on January 24, a second monobob on January 25 and the two-woman on January 26.

Eighth for Walker and Reddingius in St Moritz World Cup

13/1/2025

 
Picture
2022 Olympians Bree Walker and Kiarra Reddingius have finished in eighth place in the two-woman event on the historic St Moritz hand cut ice track in Switzerland.
 
Warm weather impacted the week, forcing the monobob to be rescheduled for later in January, leaving the female athletes to only contest the two-woman event in St Moritz.
 
In the first run, the pair were looking at a top-five run, but Walker’s helmet visor unfortunately fogged up as the run went on making driving difficult, finishing with the tenth fastest time in 1:09.66 seconds.  
 
Walker and Reddingius improved in the second run, recording the eighth fastest time in 1:08.69 seconds, which moved them up into eighth on the final rankings in a two-run combined time of 2:18.35 seconds.
 
“In the first run I couldn’t see most of the way down, so couldn’t do much more than feel my way down the track“ said the QAS bobsleigh pilot.
 
“The second run was much better, so a solid result after a very interrupted week of training.”

Fellow QAS pilot Sarah Blizzard and brakewoman Hayley Silvester just missed the cut for the second run placing 23rd after a run one time of 1.11.69. 
 
The IBSF World Cup tour now heads to Innsbruck Austria, where Walker, Reddingius and Blizzard will compete in the monobob on January 18 and two-woman on January 19.

Best ever two-woman World Championship result for Team Walker

3/3/2024

 
Picture
Bobsleigh pilot Bree Walker and brakewoman Kiara Reddingius have achieved the best ever result for Australia in the two-woman or two-man event at an IBSF World Championships, with a remarkable fifth place finish in Winterberg, Germany.

The performance is the second top-5 for Walker at the World Championships, after the 31 year old finished in fourth place in the monobob last weekend. The result smashes her previous best 14th place finish, in her only other two-woman World Championship start in 2020.

Walker and Reddingius put down four competitive runs over two days of racing on the Winterberg track, to finish in a total time of 3:45.43 seconds, 1.44 seconds behind the eventual winner.

It was a German clean sweep of the podium on their home track, with Team Buckwitz winning gold, ahead of Team Nolte in silver and Team Kalicki with the bronze.

"The week was really good, training went well and we changed our sled setup and it just fit perfectly", said Walker.

"After the monobob I just had to reset and go again, and I could sense that Kiara was really excited for this week, and training was going well so we took that energy into the race and I am so happy with the result here. We were really consistent in our pushing at the start, and also in my driving, so I am over the moon."

"It was a whirlwind when we first started sliding together, and we jelled really quickly. From that point on we knew we could be a good team, it was just a matter of time doing more training and racing together."

I always knew I could be competitive in the two-woman as well as the monobob, I just needed to find my girl to help me do that, and I feel Kiarra is as competitive as I am, and it's so exciting to have a teammate who believes that we can be competitive with the best in the world."

Reddingius also commented after the race.

"I am really proud of us this season, our aim was consistency and we have nailed that at nearly every single race, especially here over four heats, it shows we can stay up there with the best in the world."

"This is our first season as a full team the whole time, so we will only go up from here."

Also competing for Australia was Sarah Blizzard and Desi Johnson who finished in 21st place, in their first two-woman World Championship race together.

The final round of World Cup competition will take place in Lake Placid, NY, USA on March 22-23. Walker is currently ranked fourth on the monobob standings, and could finish as high as second with a strong performance.

Walker narrowly misses World Championship podium in Winterberg

26/2/2024

 
Picture
Bree Walker has come agonisingly close to a medal at the IBSF World Championships in Winterberg, Germany, missing the podium by just 0.07 seconds.

The fourth place result matches her previous best finish at a World Championships, where she had the same result last year in St Moritz, Switzerland, which is again the best ever result by an Australian bobsleigh athlete at a World Championships.

In the four run championship format, the QAS athlete performed well in her first three runs, highlighted by an exceptional third run where she had the second fastest run of the round.

Heading into the final run ranked second overall, Walker unfortunately had a mistake halfway down the run which made it difficult to recover enough speed to make the podium, and registered the seventh fastest time of the final run.
Walker finished with a four run combined time of 3:55.07 seconds, with the victory going to Laura Nolte of Germany in 3:54.77, Elana Meyers Taylor of the USA was second in 3:54.95 and German Lisa Buckwitz rounded out the podium in third with 3:55.00.

Also in action for Australia making her World Championship debut was Sarah Blizzard, who finished in 23rd place.

“It was a really tight race, and I knew it was going to be really tough and I was ready for that,” said the 31-year-old Olympian from Cairns.

“We did absolutely everything possible and left nothing to chance, I know how to execute a medal winning performance, so I just had to go out and do that, and unfortunately I just missed it, it hasn’t quite set in, but I am pretty heartbroken.”

“I made a mistake in that final run in a really important spot, and it cascaded down. You can’t make a mistake with these girls, everyone is driving so well and I ultimately paid the price and dropped to fourth.”

“My team is amazing, my coach goes above and beyond and I can’t thank Pierre (Lueders) enough for everything that he is teaching me, he is doing such a fantastic job coaching and running our team, it’s so professional.”

Next weekend sees the two-woman bobsleigh World Championship event take place at Winterberg on March 2-3, with Walker to be joined by brakewoman Kiara Reddingius. Sarah Blizzard will also be competing together with her brakewoman Desi Johnson.

“We have the two-woman coming up, and I am excited to get in and get going with that. The goal is to execute a really good race, the last time I competed in that event at the World Championships was in 2020 in Altenberg at my first World Championships, so I am excited to get in the sled and do that with Kiara next week.”

Fifth place two-woman result the highlight of a difficult weekend in Sigulda

4/2/2024

 
Picture
Bobsleigh pilot Bree Walker and brakewoman Kiara Reddingius have taken part in a triple World Cup event in Sigulda, Latvia, with the difficult track causing havoc for many of the teams and sleds from all countries.

First up was a two-woman race, with Walker and Reddingius achieving their best result of the weekend in fifth place, just 0.67 seconds behind the event winners Kim Kalicki and Leonie Fiebig of Germany.

On day two Walker competed in the monobob, finishing in ninth, 1.15 second behind German pilot Lisa Buckwitz in first place.

The third and final day featured another two-woman World Cup, with Walker and Reddingius finishing the first run in seventh.

Unfortunately in the second run, the pair had a fall in the bottom section of the Sigulda track, causing the sled to slide across the line on its side, putting them in 13th place.

The next World Cup will take place in Altenberg, Germany, on February 17-18.

Fifth for Walker and Reddingius

28/1/2024

On day two in Lillehammer Bree Walker teamed up with brakewoman Kiara Reddingius in the two-woman event, with the pair finishing in fifth place, the third time they have finished in the top-5 this season.

In the first run the pair finished with the fifth fastest time in 51.99 seconds, and improved in run number two to be the fourth fastest sled down the track in 52.15.

Their two-run combined time was 1:44.14 seconds, finishing 0.52 behind event winner Kim Kalicki and Leonie Fiebig of Germany.

After four events, the Aussie pair are currently ranked fifth on the IBSF World Cup standings in the two-woman.

Next weekend features a double World Cup event in the two-woman and single event in the monobob in Sigulda, Latvia.

Fifth for Walker & Reddingius in two-woman

15/1/2024

 
Picture
Walker was joined by brakewoman Kiara Reddingius for the two-woman bobsleigh event at St Moritz, with the pair making it back-to-back top-five World Cup finishes.

In the first run Walker and Reddingius had the sixth fastest time in 1:09.21 seconds, and went faster in the second run with a 1:08.51 seconds which the fifth fastest of the round, giving them a combined two-run time of 2:17.72 seconds and final ranking of fifth.

Finishing 1.13 seconds ahead of Walker and Reddingius in first place was the German team of Laura Nolte and Neele Schuten, with Lisa Buckwitz and Lauryn Siebert also of Germany in second, with Melanie Hasler and Mara Morell of Switzerland in third.

After the event Walker reflected on a successful weekend in St Moritz.

“I haven’t had much two-woman experience on this track in the past, so today I really didn’t have expectations on us. Honestly, I am really happy and think we can build on this result for years to come. It’s a really solid start with a lot more in the bank.”

“In two-woman this is our best result here, in the past we were just outside of the top-ten, so to jump all of those places and finish fifth is really satisfying, and especially when I still feel I have so much more to learn in the two-woman here, you can’t ask for much better than a fifth today.”

“The St Mortiz track has been very challenging for me in the past and it needs a special way to drive. I am slowly learning and liking this track more and more, so every time I come back I am enjoying myself here and taking in the surroundings. This is where bobsleigh was born so how could you not love this place.”

After three events, Walker and Reddingius are ranked fifth in the world, which is on track to be Australia’s best ever end of season ranking in the two-woman, two-man or four-man event.

The next World Cup events will take place in Lillehammer, Norway, on January 27-28.

Australia’s best ever two-woman bobsleigh result

18/12/2023

 
Picture
Walker and brakewoman Kiara Reddingius then finished the weekend in the best possible way in the two-woman, claiming the best ever result for Australia in World Cup competition.

Walker and Reddingius started the event with the third fastest time in run one with a time of 52.90 seconds, and then in run two had the fourth fastest in 52.82 seconds. Their two run time of 1:45.72 seconds put them in fourth place, just 0.8 seconds off the podium.

Germany clean swept the event in the two-woman, with Lisa Buckwitz winning all three events in Innsbruck.

“I was pretty confident that we could produce a great result in the two-woman off the back of the two monobob podiums. The vibe was high so we took that into the race and produced a great performance,” said Walker.

“Those two runs were probably the best I have ever had in a race on this track so very happy to finish on that note.”

“I didn’t do much two-woman last season, so getting back into racing in the two events has been a juggling act, but we have a great team around us that helps manage it extremely well.”

“I am very grateful for the team we have on board this season. We are really starting to build the right people around us to produce the results we know we are capable of!”

Double monobob medals for Walker in Innsbruck

16/12/2023

 
Bobsleigh pilot Bree Walker has had a great weekend competing on her most successful track in Innsbruck, Austria, taking two medals and along with brakewoman Kiara Reddingius claimed Australia’s best ever result in the two-woman, just missing the podium in fourth place.

In the first monobob event, Walker continued her success on the Igls track, with her first monobob World Cup medal of the season in a silver medal performance.

On day two, Walker backed up with another strong performance, this time finishing in the bronze medal position.
The 2022 Olympian has now podiumed in monobob on the Igls track every season since 2019, while competing across various levels of the sport.

After the monobob events, Walker commented.

“I don’t really know what it is about this place but I just understand the track well, I have a good start which matters on this track and I just enjoy racing here. We are still waiting to hear if this is the venue for the 2026 Olympics so only time will tell.”

Top-5 for Walker in in La Plagne World Cup

11/12/2023

 
Picture
QAS bobsleigh pilot Bree Walker has opened her season with equal fifth place finish at the IBSF World Cup monobob event in La Plagne, France.

Competing at the French Alps track, Walker also backed up the following day in the two-woman Bobsleigh event alongside brakewoman Kiara Reddingius, finishing in seventh place in their first event back together since the 2022 Olympic Winter Games and equalling their personal best result in IBSF World Cup.

In the monobob, Walker had an impressive first run, with the equal second fastest time on the La Plagne track along with German Laura Nolte in a time of 1:04.05 seconds,

In the second run, where the top competitors go in reverse start order, conditions unexpectedly got slower as the event progressed disadvantaging the fastest sliders from the first run. Walker finished with the equal sixth fastest run, again with Nolte again recording the same time in 1:04.27 seconds, giving them both a two-run time of 2:08.32.

Taking the win was American Kaysha Love in an incredible World Cup debut with a two run time of 2:07.92, with Swiss driver Melanie Hasler in second and Andreea Grecu of Romania in third.

Next up was the two-woman, with Walker and Reddingius finishing the first run in eighth place in a time of 1:01.84 seconds.

The pair went faster in run two, with the sixth fastest time of the round in 1:01.38, giving them a two run time of 2:02.22, 0.98 seconds behind event winner Nolte and Schuten of Germany.

"It's one of the most beautiful places on the tour, so we have thoroughly enjoyed being here," said Walker.

"The track was a little bit bumpy, but we made it work, and ultimately walking away with a solid result and we just build from here."

"I have a brand new team in terms of new coaches and then also Kiara is back, so we just need to get back in the groove of things, but to walk away with a fifth in the monobob, and seventh in the two-woman with Kiara which equals our best ever result so far, so really happy with that.

"The altitude is pretty rough up here, I am pretty excited to get back to lower altitude, but you have to make it work, everyone is dealing with the same conditions, so we just made the best of what we could this weekend."

Walker will be aiming for the podium at the World Cup next weekend in Innsbruck, Austria, a location she has had great success previously.

Bree and Kiara finish two-woman campaign in 16th

20/2/2022

 
Picture
It was a case of ecstasy and agony for Bree Walker and Kiara Reddingius at the Yanqing ‘Dragon' track, laying down a scintillating run to jump into top-10 contention before a challenging final run saw them finish 16th in the two-woman bobsleigh.

Entering the night in 12th after the first two of four runs completed yesterday, the pair laid down a 1:02.04 in run three to jump into 11th, within striking distance of a top-10 finish.

However, a difficult fourth run saw a 1:02.51 time for the duo to finish with a combined time of 4.08.64 in 16th.

The event was dominated by Germany, who took out gold and silver, with USA winning bronze. The winning pair of Laura Nolte and Deborah Levi finished well clear of the pack, more than 1.5 seconds ahead of bronze and 4.68 seconds ahead of the Australian duo.

The Australian pair's finish is just short of Astrid Loch-Wilkinson and Kylie Reed's 14th at Torino 2006, Australia's best ever result in the discipline. The full body of Bree and Kiara's four runs show the pair finished less than half a second outside the top 10.

While disappointed at their final run, the pair were proud of their campaign to take on the giants of the bobsleigh world.

"I don't have words for how I'm feeling yet, I'm still comprehending what has happened," Bree said. "It's been a huge campaign but I'm so grateful for our team, we've worked so hard.

"I really wanted to fix up a few mistakes I had been making all week and I think that last run I wanted it too bad.

"We couldn't have made it here or achieved what we have on our own, I'm so grateful for the team. We're all pretty much freshies, on our first Olympics, out here having a crack and making it happen."

Bree was excited to head back to Australia after more than two years away from friends and family chasing her bobsleigh dream in Europe and North America.

"We're going to head home and come down from this whole experience. I'm so excited to see my family, it's been two and a half years, I can't wait to give you all a hug."

Brakewoman Kiara, who only paired with Bree for the first-time last year, paid tribute to the work the team had put in to make their debut Olympics.

"I'm really proud of how we've done this whole campaign," the West Australian said. "This is our first Olympics and just our fourth race together.

"The thing I really like about Bree is she's willing to risk it, she's willing to chuck herself out there to find the fast lines. It might not have worked out in that final run, but we gave every single part of ourselves to this experience and this journey, you can't be more proud or happy with that.

"I'm honoured to slide with Bree and be part of this team. It's been a really long season for us, we've been away from Australia for so long."

While they would have liked to have been better in their final run, they know that doesn't define the next four years as they continue to grow and challenge the traditional sliding heavyweights.

"I love the sport and everything about it," Kiara said.

"If we can get some support behind us, it's a big campaign, I'm going to try my best to really pump it up for the future."

And after achieving Australia's best ever Olympic bobsleigh result with fifth in the monobob, and achieving 16th after just their first season together, the future is looking very bright for Australian women's bobsleigh.
