Briton victories by almost a 2nd in Milano Cortina
First British male to win individual winter months gold since 1980
And on the 7th day, Great Britain ultimately won their first medal of these Olympics. At 9 o’clock on Friday evening Matt Weston, the male his colleagues call “Captain 110%”, came to be the very first British man ever to win the gold in the males’s skeleton, after four perfect races throughout both days of competition.The 28-year-old broke
the performance history at the Cortina Sliding Centre 4 times in sequence, and won in a mixed time of 3min 43.33 sec, which was almost a full 2nd in advance of the runner-up, Germany’s Axel Jungk. “I’ve been privileged sufficient to win world championships, and Other points and european championships, and this strikes them all out the water,” Weston claimed. “I virtually feel numb. I keep touching this medal to make certain it is genuine.”
