Yarnold: Bad form won't stop me from gunning for gold

DEFENDING Olympic champion Lizzy Yarnold said yesterday that she will be gunning for gold at the Winter Games in Pyeongchang despite her recent World Cup skeleton setback.

Yarnold, the 29-year-old who stormed to Olympic glory in Sochi four years ago, endured another frustrating day in Innsbruck last week after finishing only 16th.

It marked the third consecutive race in which Yarnold has failed to finish inside the top 10 with the Winter Olympics now less than two months away.
