The German reigning skeleton world champion blitzed the field to finish a mammoth 0.67 seconds ahead of compatriot Tina Hermann to claim a fourth successive World Cup medal on the track.

The PyeongChang silver medallist led from the first run with a 57.61 second effort, before bettering that in the second run in 57.55 seconds to take top spot.

Austria's Janine Flock took bronze to finish ahead of overall World Cup leader Elena Nikitina at the second World Cup event of the 2018-19 season.
