GB's Weston & Stoecker win thrilling skeleton team gold

On Sunday, February 15, 2026, Britain became the first Olympic champions in the mixed-team skeleton at the Cortina Sliding Centre when Matt Weston and Tabitha Stoecker won as the final duo.
The mixed team format pairs one man and one woman who start after lights stop, making reaction time at the start crucial, with Stoecker finishing fifth on Saturday with a 1:00.77 run, leaving the British pair 0.30 seconds behind the Germans.
Weston posted a 58.59-second final run, and the British duo's combined time was 1:59.36 to win by 0.17 seconds on Sunday.
The result made Weston the first Briton to win two Winter Olympic gold medals, completing a record-breaking third for Team GB on Sunday.
Beyond the gold, the event produced extremely fine margins as Marcus Wyatt and Freya Tarbit missed bronze by 0.01 seconds while Axel Jungk, Jacqueline Pfeifer, and Christopher Grotheer extended their Olympic medal hauls.
