    Elizabeth Yarnold of Great Britain earned her country's first gold medal of the Sochi Games with victory in the skeleton.

    The 25-year-old, who led the event after the two opening runs, produced two more consistent rounds to clock a combined time of 3min 52.89sec to finish 0.97sec ahead of second-placed Noelle Pikus-Pace of the United States.

    In her third heat, Yarnold, who repeated the triumph at the 2010 Vancouver Games of compatriot Amy Williams, set a new track record with a time of 57.91sec.

    Russia's 2013 European champion Elena Nikitina was third with a time of 3:54.30.
