🥇 Matt Weston wins Gold in the Men’s Skeleton!

What a final run! Weston finishes with a faultless ride and actually increases the gap between himself and the rest of the field. It is there! He finishes in a time of 55.61 seconds which is a new course record to boot.

Weston falls to his knees on the ice. He then removes his helmet and his mouthguard and is visibly emotional, he punches the air and lets out a howl of joy. Well done that man, Great Britain have their first medal of this Winter Olympics and it is GOLD courtesy of Matt Weston.
