Deas had taken the lead on her final run, but was narrowly overtaken by Germany's Jacqueline Lolling, whose powerful finish briefly took her into top spot. Yarnold's cumulative time was 0.45s quicker than Lolling with Deas a further 0.17s behind in the bronze medal place. Great Britain have now won the last three women's skeleton golds, with Yarnold preceded by Amy Williams, who was the victor in Vancouver eight years ago.
