GB Skeleton Masterclass: Innovation and Teamwork Deliver Gold Without a Home Track

Team GB’s skeleton program thrives on cutting-edge engineering, elite coaching, and talent pipelines rather than a home ice track. Matt Weston’s Milan-Cortina 2026 gold extends Britain’s skeleton medal haul to 10, built on sled design, wind-tunnel testing, and a culture of open knowledge sharing among athletes, plus investment and UK Sport funding with a high-performance environment at Bath’s push track. The squad’s camaraderie and systematic preparation—expanded leadership from coaches like Martins Dukurs—drive strong results even with limited ice time and, at times, challenging equipment choices.
