Shelley Rudman competed in the 5th world cup skeleton event in koenigssee (bavaria - south Germany) this morning.

Shelley laid down a great run to go into the 2nd heat leading the field with an advantage of 0.15 sec over 2nd place (home athlete) Marion Thees. At the end of an eventful 2nd heat Shelley brought home Gold with an emphatic victory (0.5 sec) in front of her closest rival.

Shelley now moves up the world rankings to 3rd with 3 races remaining.

This was a great day for Shelley Rudman and for Bromley Technolgies who build and tune the sled. Nearly 50% of the international line up were using Bromley built equipment.
