From Winterberg, Germany<\/strong><\/p>\n

Despite all of the success that the United States has had in the sport of bobsled over the last decade and a half, the Women’s Bobsled program had never won a gold medal in the FIBT World Championships. \u00a0All of that changed today with a gold medal for Elana Meyers Taylor and Cherrelle Garrett.<\/p>\n

The American duo was fastest in three of the four heats, setting a start record in the first run, tying it one other time and pushing within a hundredth on the other two runs on their way to a .43 win over German Anja\u00a0Schneiderheinze. \u00a0Schneiderheinze did all she could in her final run, breaking Meyers Taylor’s track record on her way to a silver medal. \u00a0Teammate Cathleen Martini scored a bronze medal in her final run of her career.<\/p>\n

Stefanie Szczurek made it three German sleds in the top four, while Americans Jamie Greubel Poser and Jazmine Fenlator rounded out the top six.<\/p>\n

Defending World Champion Kaillie Humphries was the only Canadian sled in the field, finishing in a tie for seventh with Elfje Willemsen of Belgium. \u00a0Mica McNeill led the way for Great Britain in 14th, just ahead of teammate Victoria Olaoye.<\/p>\n
