Lizzy Yarnold completes skeleton career grand slam

Great Britain's Lizzy Yarnold adds the skeleton world title to her Olympic, World Cup and European golds to complete a career grand slam.

Great Britain's Lizzy Yarnold has won gold at the Skeleton World Championships to complete the career grand slam of major titles.

The 26-year-old added the world crown to her Olympic, World Cup and European golds by setting a new track record at the German resort of Winterberg.

"World champion as well as Olympic champion and European champion, it's all I ever wanted," she told BBC Sport.

Having smashed the track record on Friday, Yarnold lowered it again in the last of her four runs to clinch victory in a combined time of 3:49.95.

She finished 0.67s ahead of Germany's Jacqueline Lolling, with Canada's Elisabeth Vathje completing the podium.
