Australia's ever consistent World Cup sledder Bree Walker has begun her 2025 campaign in fine style, sliding to another monobob World Cup bronze medal in Germany.
The 32-year-old, who finished runner-up in last year's World Cup, consolidated her third place in the 2024-25 global competition by finishing behind home pilot Lisa Buckwitz, who set a new track record time of 58.25 seconds on the Winterberg track, and Switzerland's silver medallist Melanie Hasler.
It was the former hurdler's second-straight World Cup bronze after also medalling in Latvia before Christmas, and after three of eight races this season, Walker is on 584 points in the rankings behind leader and defending champ Buckwitz (660) and her German compatriot, world champion Laura Nolte (619).
