2026 Winter Olympics: GB’s Lilah Fear & Lewis Gibson miss out on figure skating medal

Advertisements

Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson missed out on becoming the first British figure skaters in 32 years to win an Olympic medal, as they failed to make the ice dance podium at Milan-Cortina 2026.

Fear tripped on the second element of their free-dance routine, and despite skating cleanly for the remainder it proved too much of an obstacle to overcome.

After an embrace on the ice, Fear and Gibson left the rink to applause from the large British presence in the crowd. Fear was visibly upset as the scores came in to confirm they would not claim a place on the podium.

It means the wait goes on for British skating since Dame Jayne Torvill and Sir Christopher Dean won bronze at the Lillehammer Games in 1994.

And it continues Team GB’s disappointing Games so far, with no medals won yet.
