The gold for Walker is her sixth in eight IBSF monobob races, with the previous races all being held as a “Women’s Monobob Event”.
Nolte finished second in her first ever official monobob race, while Kati Beierl continued a great start to the IBSF season with her second Monobob World Series bronze to go with a silver and a fourth place finish in two-woman bobsled.
Melanie Hasler finished fourth, just ahead of Mica McNeill, who finished fifth in her third monobob race. In her previous two attempts she won two bronze medals.
Romania’s Andreea Grecu finished sixth for her second top six in two Women’s Monobob World Series races.
