Team GB's Winter Olympics campaign in Milan-Cortina has been nothing short of historic, with the nation securing five medals including three golds. Matt Weston and Charlotte Bankes will lead the team into the closing ceremony as flagbearers, marking the most successful Winter Games for Great Britain since 2014.

This achievement is particularly significant as it includes Team GB's first-ever Olympic gold medals on snow, won by Bankes and Huw Nightingale in the mixed team snowboard cross. Weston's victory in the men's skeleton and the mixed team success with Tabby Stoecker further cemented Britain's place among winter sports elite. The men's curling team, skipped by Bruce Mouat, added a second successive Olympic silver to the tally.

Beyond the medal winners, several near-misses highlighted Britain's growing depth in winter sports. Freestyle skier Kirsty Muir finished fourth in both slopestyle and big air, while snowboarder Mia Brookes narrowly missed the podium in big air despite landing a competition-first backside 1620 trick. These performances, along with multiple top-10 finishes across disciplines, demonstrate that Team GB is no longer a 'one-trick pony' but a genuine force in winter sports. With £25.5m invested in the Olympic programme and young talent emerging, the foundation is set for continued success at future Games.
