Skeleton has officially ignited British medal ambitions at Milan-Cortina 2026. And from the very first heat, Matt Weston laid down a formidable marker. The reigning world champion clocked the provisional fastest time on the Cortina d’Ampezzo track, smashing the track record in the process. Behind him, Marcus Wyatt remains firmly in contention in seventh place, ready to capitalise on any slip. After one run, Team GB may be on the brink of securing its first medal of these Games, following three agonising fourth-place finishes elsewhere.
