One disappointing final run has left monobob star Bree Walker's hopes of earning a historic world championship bobsleigh gold for Australia in ruins.
Instead of becoming the first Aussie medallist in 94 years of the world championships, Walker had the agony of seeing her silver medal position going into the fourth and last run in Winterberg on Sunday bump frustratingly into a fourth-placed finish.
The 31-year-old Victorian eventually missed out on the bronze by just 0.07 seconds, and looked the picture of disappointment as she hung her head in the cockpit of her sled at the German resort after the near-miss.
