Germans dominate women’s skeleton at world championships
Germans Jacqueline Loelling and Tina Hermann went one-two at the skeleton world championships at home in Koenigssee on Saturday.
Loelling, 22, prevailed by one-quarter of a second after four runs over the 2016 World champion Hermann. Lizzy Yarnold, the Sochi Olympic champion from Great Britain, was .73 back for bronze.
The top American was Kendall Wesenberg in 13th. Full results are here.
Loelling and Hermann, 24, represent the new generation of German sliders, both seeking to become the first Olympic skeleton champion from the sliding sports power.
