Lizzy Yarnold capped her comeback from a year out by winning a bronze medal at the Skeleton World Championships in Germany.

The 28-year-old Olympic champion moved up from fourth place overnight to finish third behind Germans Jacqueline Lolling and Tina Hermann.

Yarnold, who had opted to miss last season in the wake of her triumph in Sochi, is focused on retaining her Olympic crown in South Korea next year.

Yarnold's Great Britain team-mate Laura Deas finished 10th in a race reduced to three runs due to bad weather.
