Team GB skeleton slider Matt Weston has set a new track record during the Winter Olympics 2026, solidifying his position as the favorite to win gold. His blistering second run in the final event left him in the lead with two runs still to go, a significant achievement that has commentators dubbing him 'the man to beat'. Weston's performance was a masterclass, combining speed and precision to shatter the previous best time recorded on the course. This record-breaking run places immense pressure on his competitors, particularly as he still has two races remaining to potentially extend his advantage. Winter Olympics 2026 organizers and fans will now be eagerly anticipating whether Weston can maintain this momentum and clinch the title he seems poised to dominate.
