Great Britain’s Corie Mapp capped a superb season by winning his first men’s Para-bobsleigh World Championships gold, just two weeks after claiming the overall World Cup title for a third time.
The 46-year-old former soldier, who is a double amputee, posted an overall time of four minutes 54.03 seconds for his four runs in St Moritz to claim gold by 0.3 seconds from Switzerland’s Jonas Frei, with Austria’s Hermann Ellmauer third.
Mapp became the first British man in 60 years to claim a World Championships bobsleigh gold in what was his ninth attempt, after winning silver in 2019 and bronze in 2024 and 2017.
“This win is very emotional for me – it’s something that I’ve wanted for so long and something that we’ve tried so hard to achieve,” said Mapp, after completing the set of major honours available to him in the sport.
“The stars definitely aligned for this one. Everything went the way we wanted it to go and I’m incredibly grateful for this success.
“I’ve now won the Grand Slam and long may this continue.”
Mapp took his tally to 60 major medals in Para-bobsleigh, adding the world title to two gold medals at the European Championships, in 2019 and 2024, and overall titles in the World Cup series in 2018, 2024 and 2025.
Para-bobsleigh is not included in the Winter Paralympics.
Tony Nash and Robin Dixon were the last British men to win a gold medal at a bobsleigh World Championships, claiming the two-man title in St Moritz in 1965.
