Matt Weston has etched their name into British sporting history by becoming the first athlete from Britain to secure two gold medals at a single Winter Olympics.
Never before had Team GB claimed two gold medals on a single day at a Winter Olympics, also creating a historic moment at the games
The victory, secured alongside Tabby Stoecker in the skeleton mixed team, came on the same day as the mixed team snowboard gold.
This remarkable Sunday brought Britain’s gold medal tally to three at these Games.
That tally represents the highest number of gold medals the nation has ever achieved at a single Winter Olympics.
Weston won his first on Friday evening at the Cortina Sliding Centre, while Stoecker finished in fifth in the women’s event on Saturday.
As a team, they were sitting in second place behind Germany before Weston secured the victory by 0.17 seconds.
Fellow Britons Marcus Wyatt and Freya Tarbit were pushed into fourth place by the second German team.
