Meyers Taylor ends German bobsleigh dominance at last

The American loves this Swiss track – she has now won here four times in a row – and along with brakewoman Lauren Gibbs she was too strong for the Germans on Saturday.

Thus she becomes the first non-German to claim a bobsleigh World Cup win this season across both male and female disciplines.

Second on the day was Stephanie Schneider while Olympic champion – and still the overall leader in this season's standings – Maria Jamanka was third.

Stephanie Koehler was fourth and that means that Meyers Taylor – who has made the podium in all five races of her season so far but has finally claimed her first win – is still fifth overall but closing all the time.

Great Britain's Mica McNeill was fifth on the day – she sat fourth at the halfway stage – and remains ninth overall.
