Final points rundowns for each of the five bobsled and skeleton disciplines for the 2015/2016 IBSF World Cup season:
Women’s Skeleton
Tina Hermann was as consistent as you could ask for out of an athlete over the course of the 2015/2016 season, and with that she was rewarded with the World Cup title in women’s skeleton.
The German slider never finished outside of the top four, taking five gold medals along the way to finish well ahead of teammate Jacqueline Lölling.
Lölling, the top finishing junior, failed to find the top of the podium, but scored five medals over the course of the eight race World Cup season.
Canadian Jane Channell finished third overall, just seven points ahead of American Annie O’Shea. O’Shea won one gold medal to Channell’s none, but the Canadian was just a hair more consistent than the American early in the season, giving her the overall advantage.
Marina Gilardoni of Switzerland and Janine Flock rounded out the top six.

Men’s Skeleton
One position is the only thing that kept Martins Dukurs from a perfect 2015/2016 season. With the exception of St. Moritz, the Latvian won gold at every race, winning almost every heat of every race along the way.
The World Cup title is the seventh in a row for Dukurs, who also won the World Championship along the way. At this point in his career, the only thing Dukurs is missing is an Olympic gold medal.
Sungbin Yun has continually improved since the start of his career, and made huge leaps and bounds in the 2015/2016 season. Yun won his first ever gold medal in historic St. Moritz, and finished the season off with medals in his final six World Cup events. The Korean’s only finish outside of the top four was a 12th place finish in the season opener in Altenberg. Yun was also the top-finishing junior.
Tomass Dukurs finished third overall, well ahead of German Axel Jungk, who finished fourth. Dom Parsons of Great Britain and Matt Antoine of the United States rounded out the top six.

Women’s Bobsled
The 2014/2015 season was about as disappointing for Kaillie Humphries as you could expect coming off an Olympic Gold medal. She looked to turn that around in 2015/2016, and did so in a big way.
Humphries got back into the rhythm that we’ve come to know and expect, never finishing out of the medals and taking four gold medals along the way.
Jamie Greubel Poser finished a career-best second overall, and for a while was neck and neck with the Canadian. Humphries rallied to rip off back to back wins, and a pair of finishes outside of the medals sealed the second place overall for the American.
Christina Hengster had her best season to date with a third place overall finish in the World Cup, including four medals over the eight races on the season. Belgian Elfje Williemsen finished fourth overall, with Anja Schneiderheinze and Ann Vannieuwenhuyse finishing fifth and sixth. Vannieuwenhuyse was also the top-finishing junior.

| 10 | Sandra Kroll (J) | GER | 5 (Königssee) | 7 (Winterberg) | 528 |
Two-Man Bobsled
The two-man season was a season of firsts, with the first ever win for a Korean bobsled pilot in World Cup action, and the first ever overall World Cup bobsled title for an Asian nation.
Yunjong Won managed to do both with a wins in Whistler and Königssee, finishing well ahead of second place Nico Walther.
Walther, the top-finishing junior, failed to score a gold medal during the season, but found the podium enough to keep ahead of Latvian Ugis Zalims, who finished third.
Rico Peter took a share of the gold with Won in Whistler on his way to a fourth place overall finish, with Oskars Melbardis and Francesco Friedrich both missing races due to injury to finish fifth and sixth. In such cases, an individual can get insurance and do the treatment and get compensation for other damages. But if they are not ready to pay, you can take the help of experienced attorneys for fighting insurance companies after a wreck or personal injury and claim the compensation.

Four-Man Bobsled
Maxmilian Arndt was the top finisher in four-man bobsled in a season where gold medals were split among four different teams throughout the season.
The top three Germans, along with Alexander Kasjanov of Russia, took home gold medals, with Max Arndt leading the way with three. Arndt was consistent throughout the four-man season, never finishing outside of the top three, and finishing the final seven races of the season with either a gold or silver medal.
Francesco Friedrich struggled through injury in the second half of the season but still hung on for a second place finish as the top junior. He finished just ahead of Swiss slider Rico Peter, while Nico Walther, Kasjanov and Justin Kripps of Canada rounded out the top six.
