Great Britain clinched the gold in the four-man bobsleigh at the IBSF World Cup in Winterberg, Germany.
Brad Hall, Taylor Lawrence, Arran Gulliver and Greg Cackett secured victory with a combined time of one minute 48.07 seconds from their two runs, beating Germany by a whisker, just under two tenths of a second.
With this, Hall won his fourth World Cup gold in the four-man event, taking three golds during the 2022-23 season.
“To finish in first place here is incredible,” said Hall. “It’s been a very long time since anyone other than the Germans have won here.
“We’re extremely happy and we’re now hoping this is a stepping stone to being on top of the podium a few more times this season before we hit the World Championships in March.”
