Royal Marine Lance Corporal Taylor Lawrence has won a silver medal as part of the GB 4-man Bobsleigh team at the World Cup event in Innsbruck, Austria.

This medal now brings the four-man team's medal haul up to five for the season.

The British quartet, which includes Lawrence, driver Brad Hall, Aaran Gulliver and Greg Cackett, produced some superb runs but narrowly lost out on the gold medal by just 0.19 seconds to the German team, led by Olympic Champion Francesco Friedrich, who finished with a total time of 1:40.65.

The GB team's success in St Moritz at the weekend meant they were the first British team to win a medal at the Bobsleigh World Championships since 1939.

Royal Marine Taylor Lawrence, however, expressed his disappointment to Force News, despite winning a historic silver medal.

In January, Lawrence was part of the team to win Great Britain's first-ever European four-man bobsleigh title.
