Unfunded bobsledders Mica McNeill and Mica Moore secured the best result for British women in the Bobsleigh World Cup for over eight years by finishing fifth in Canada.
The pair were only able to compete on the World Cup circuit this season after raising over £30,000 through crowdfunding following an overspend by their governing body.
McNeill and Moore were third at the halfway stage in Whistler before conditions deteriorated in the final session, while Canada took gold.
Four sleds crashed, but McNeill was at least able to guide her sled to a career-best result and rise to sixth in the overall World Cup standings.
The British pair completed two runs in Whistler in a combined time of one minute 47.99 seconds, which was 0.59 seconds off the podium places, with USA finishing second and third behind Canada.
“We are absolutely buzzing from our career best finish,” McNeill told BBC Sport. “This showed we have medal potential and can be in the mix.”
Moore added: “We’re so grateful for all the support the public have given us.”
