2017 Parasport World Championships – Bobsled

From St. Moritz, SUI

Arturs Klots dominated an otherwise close race in the four-heat World Championships for para-bobsled.

The Latvian was fastest in each heat, and the only athlete under five minute for their combined time, on his way to his first World Championship.

Behind Klots, Lonnie Bissonnette had to fight off British slider Corie Mapp and American Jason Sturm to take silver. Mapp struggled in his third run, finishing that heat .8 behind Bissonnette, and eventually finished less than .4 behind the Canadian.
