West Kingsdown's Lizzy Yarnold has won her fourth world cup gold of the season - a year to the day of her famous Olympic win.
History repeated itself when the 26-year-old took to the same track in Sochi to win gold in the skeleton World Cup yesterday (February 14).
Yarnold’s first run of 57.94 was just 0.03 seconds off her own track record and put her 0.45 seconds ahead of Germany’s Tina Hermann at the halfway point in the event.
She then completed a second run in just 58.63 to take gold, finishing four hundredths ahead of Maria Orlova from Russia.
After the race, Yarnold said: ”I do love this track and I’ve done quite a lot of runs here as we did 40 before the Olympics, and even though I made a lot of mistakes I’m just able to relax and enjoy the track."
