GB clinch bobsleigh bronze at World Championships
Great Britain secured just their second World Championships medal in four-man bobsleigh in 86 years as they won bronze in Lake Placid.
The British quartet of Brad Hall, Arran Gulliver, Taylor Lawrence and Greg Cackett held on to their overnight third position in the United States, taking second place in runs three and four to finish behind two German teams.
The GB team's aggregate time of 2:45.00 was 0.48 seconds slower than that of the winning German team, piloted by Francesco Friedrich.
Friedrich has now won the past seven World Championships in the four-man sled, alongside taking gold at the 2018 and 2022 Olympics.
Hall's team had gone fastest in Friday's second run to cut Friedrich's lead to 0.29 seconds, only for the entire heat to be voided after completion because of poor track conditions.
The same team secured Great Britain's first podium finish since World War Two at the World Championships two years ago, finishing joint-second with Latvia.
