Deans Court sponsored athlete Laura Deas wins World Cup gold medal

Our sponsored athlete Laura Deas has won the opening Skeleton World Cup race of the season in the German resort of Altenberg.

"It's a dream start! Last year was a breakthrough season for me and I've been saying all summer that I just want to kick on and keep improving," said the former professional event rider.

"The feeling of standing on the podium twice last season was something special but to be on top of it this time takes things to another level."
