2015/2016 IBSF Parasport World Cup Final Points

From the home office in Durham, USA

Below are the final points for both the Para-Bobsled and Para-Skeleton 2015/2016 World Cup.

Para-Skeleton

Eric Eierdam had a fantastic 2015/2016 season, scoring a top-three finish in every race, doing no worse than third (St. Moritz & Igls). Eierdam won in half of the races he competed in, taking gold in both Park City races and one half of the Igls races.

Finishing behind Eierdam was Matthew Richardson of Great Britain. Consistency was key for Richardson, who finished first in the first race of the season (Calgary), before ripping off a string of second place finishes throughout the rest of the season.

Para-Bobsled

The 2015/2016 Para-Bobsled season belonged to Canadian Lonnie Bissonnette, who found gold at every track except St. Moritz. With three gold medals in the first three races, Bissonnette took hold of the leader’s position and never let go. Despite two fourth place finishes in the last three races, the World Cup points title was never in doubt.

Corie Mapp finished second in points for the season, unable to find the consistency that Bissonnette mastered. The British slider scored two gold medals on the season, but also finished tenth (Igls) and sixth twice (Calgary, Park City).

Aaron Lanningham was the top finishing American in the World Cup points, finishing third. Lanningham took three medals throughout the season, but also had two finishes outside the top-six, finishing eight points behind Mapp.
