Eric Eierdam took his third gold medal of the IBSF Para-Skeleton world cup season on the strength of the race’s fastest run in the first heat.

Eierdam was the only slider below the 57 second mark (56.99 in heat 1), and despite a second-fastest run in the second heat, the American took gold.

Matthew Richardson continued his solid season with his fourth silver medal of the season, just ahead of American Ryan Gautieri, who finished in the bronze position.

Dorlan Willes and Nicholas Dadgostar finished fourth and fifth for the United States, while Robert Richardson finished sixth for Great Britain.
