Highlights for Team GB at the Milano Cortina 2026? Where better to start than two gold medals on the same day?

Oh wait, what about two gold medals by the same person for the first time ever by a British athlete at the Winter Olympics?

The best gold medal tally for Team GB at the snow circus?

First ever gold medal on snow?

Hard to choose so let’s go with Super Sunday, 15 February, which also happily doubles as Matt Weston becoming the first two-time Olympic champion at one Winter Olympics for the Brits. The reigning world, European and World Cup champion had already claimed gold in the men’s skeleton two days earlier to get Team GB off the medal mark on Day 7 of the Olympic Winter Games.

The London resident claimed top spot in the mixed team event alongside Tabby Stoecker, with Weston going on a scintillating run to make up a 0.30 second deficit to win gold.

That’s a first medal for former circus-school alum, Stoecker, at her second Winter Olympics, on a day that started with a first-ever medal on snow in the snowboard cross mixed team final.

There’s something about these mixed team events for Team GB, right?

Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale backed up their 2023 world title by smoking the competition in the four-abreast race-to-the-end showdown. With the men heading down the undulating, corner-strewn course first to register a time, the women were then let out of start gates at the representative time, so whoever crossed the line first was the winner.

Nightingale performed the races of his life to keep Bankes, the 2021 women’s world champion, in contention throughout the rounds with the Hemel Hempstead-born France-residing Bankes doing her thing and steaming through at the bottom of the course to take the wins needed to progress, and then, top spot in the medal-race itself.

Bruce Mouat, Grant Hardie, Bobby Lammie and Hammy McMillan scrabbled and fought to make it through to the men’s final to make good on their promise to go one better than their silver medal at Beijing 2022.

Zoe Atkin qualified top in the women’s freeski halfpipe final and would take to the slope on the final day of Milano Cortina 2026, ahead of the closing ceremony on 22 February, hoping to add to her world title.

Yet Team GB’s performance wasn’t just about the medals.
