Vogt clocked 59.81sec on her first run followed by 59.37 on her second.

She recorded the fastest times in both runs which gave her a combined time of 1min 59.18sec, as she claimed overall victory by 0.53 seconds.

Vogt has enjoyed an impressive start to 2021 on the World Series stage, recording two wins and a second placed finish during three races held at Park City in Utah last month.

Jamaican sliders completed the podium behind Vogt today, with Jazmine Victorian-Fenlator in second on a total time of 1:59.71 and Carrie Russell in third, 0.88 seconds behind her compatriot on 2:00.06.

There was a gap of more than three seconds from Russell to the rest of the field at Lake Placid, where another race in the Women’s Monobob World Series is scheduled to take place tomorrow.

In fourth was American Brittany Reinbolt in a time of 2:02.45, followed by Marina Tuono Silva of Brazil in fifth on 2:02.48.

More than a second behind them were Maddy Cohen of the United States who was sixth in 2:03.88 and Simidele Adeagbo of Nigeria who completed the field in seventh in 2:03.99.

Women’s monobob is scheduled to debut at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, which is due to run from February 4 to 20 2022.

The discipline is unique in that unlike other bobsleigh events competitors use identical bobs, meaning the standard of driving rather than the value of equipment used should be the decisive factor in races.
