BEIJING – Bree Walker, a former Little Rock track and field middle distance runner, finished fifth in the inaugural monobob competition at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
The three-time letterwinner for the Trojans is competing for her native Australia at this year's Olympics.
Walker fought her way back from 10th place to finish fifth at the Yanqing National Sliding Center. Despite an exceptional final run in which she recorded the second-fastest time of the round, she fell just 0.43 seconds short of the bronze medal.
Her time in Beijing is not over, however, as she will partner with Kiara Reddingius for the two-woman bobsleigh event which starts on Friday.
