Skeleton-Neise swoops to snatch yet another sliding medal for ascendant Germany

YANQING, China: Germany's anthem may be the most-played song northwest of Beijing after Hannah Neise won the women's skeleton on Saturday , making it an astonishing six sliding golds out of six for her country.

Narracott had led at the half-way mark, but with eight other contenders within 0.53 seconds of her time, the door to the medals was still open. But Germany's Hannah Neise came diving down after her like an angry hornet in yellow and black. She ricocheted against the walls towards the end, but sheer momentum carried her ahead, shaving a massive 0.59 seconds off the previous track record.
