Lizzy Yarnold was crowned European skeleton champion in Austria on Sunday.
The 26-year-old from West Kingsdown won gold at the Winter Olympics last year and now she has another medal to add to her collection.
She said: "Being European champion was a huge goal of mine.
"I desperately wanted to add that crown - that was one of the goals for the season, and the other one is the World Championships, so it’s been a really, really good day."
Yarnold claimed two victories over the weekend, winning a World Cup event at the same track on Saturday.
Sunday's event also doubled up as a World Cup and Yarnold remains third in the overall standings heading to the final round of competition in Sochi - where she won Olympic gold.
