Great Britain won silver in St Moritz for their first medal since 1939 and their pilot, Brad Hall, said: ‘It’s been a hell of a long time’
Great Britain ended an 84-year wait for a four-man bobsleigh world championship medal after Brad Hall, Arran Gulliver, Taylor Lawrence and Greg Cackett claimed silver in St Moritz, Switzerland.
“It’s an incredible achievement and I’m really proud of the team,” Hall said. “It’s been a hell of a long time since a four-man crew has won a world championship medal. To be the ones who have bucked that trend is pretty special. Britain can claim to have had a role in the foundation of the sport. It has previously been ascribed to a group of Englishmen on holiday in St Moritz in the 1800s. Great Britain won gold at the 1964 Olympics in Innsbruck, Austria. The modern crafts can travel up to 90mph.
