FIBT World Cup – Round 5 – Women’s Bobsled

From Königssee, Germany

The first heat of this morning’s Women’s Bobsled race seemed as though things couldn’t get any tighter.  Once the second heat concluded, there was one standout sled and a pack of sleds behind it.

The team of Martini/Wiacker were the quickest in both heats.  Behind them, there was a tie for silver between the SUI 1 sled of Meyer/Schenk and the CAN 1 sled of Humphries/Baadsvik.

Elana Meyers finishes fifth after a disappointing second run, while Jazmine Fenlator leaves Germany having finished 12th, and Bree Schaaf finishes 15th after a solid week last week.
