MELKSHAM-BASED Laura Deas claimed the top British result in yesterday's World Cup skeleton racing as she finished seventh in Igls, Austria.
Deas jumped up from 12th at halfway, with her second run good enough to win bronze had it been taken in isolation.
The Welsh slider clocked 54.22 seconds second time around – almost half a second quicker than her time from Run 1.
The result sees her stay seventh in the global standings ahead of next month’s World Championships in Konigssee, Germany.
