About Kimberley Bos
Born 1993. Kimberley Bos is a Dutch skeleton racer and bobsledder.
Notable results Bos's first official result in international competition was a bobsleigh qualification race for the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics, held the previous November at the Olympic Sliding Centre Innsbruck, in which she and brakewoman Mandy Groot finished fourth. In three subsequent qualification races (with Groot and Sanne Dekker trading off brakewoman duties), she finished second, earning a qualifying spot to the 2012 games. At the games, Bos and Groot earned a bronze medal behind a British sled and the other Dutch team (see Bobsleigh at the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics). Bos and Groot finished 13th later that month at the Bobsleigh Junior World Championships, also at the Innsbruck track, again behind their Dutch teammates.
After a string of poor performances in the 2012–13 season, including five non-results on the Europe and North American Cup tours, Bos switched to skeleton racing for the 2013–14 season. She had much more success in skeleton, making the cut in every single race on the Europe Cup she started, ending her 2015–16 season with four straight gold-medal finishes on North American Cup races at Park City and Lake Placid. Bos also placed in the top 10 in eight of nine Intercontinental Cup races in 2015–16 and won two ICC races at Igls to start the 2016–17 season before moving up to the World Cup level.
Bos finished fifth at the Skeleton Junior World Championships for 2017 in Sigulda, after finishing second at the same event the previous year. At the 2017 Senior World Championships in Königssee, Bos finished 14th, down from 8th the previous year. She finished seventh in the 2017 World Cup race at Winterberg, also the European championships, in which she was fifth after discounting the two non-European competitors ahead of her. Her best finish on the World Cup was a bronze medal in 2017 at the Olympic test event in Pyeongchang, and she finished the 2016–17 season ranked 12th overall. In the 2018 European Championships, held in December 2017 at Igls, Bos again finished fifth.
