Advertisements

Great Britain duo Matt Weston and Tabby Stoecker won team silver at the skeleton World Championships in Lake Placid, USA.

Weston, who won individual gold on Friday, narrowly missed out on a second gold medal as he and Stoecker finished a tenth of a second behind winners Ro Mystique and Austin Florian of the United States.

The British duo clocked a combined time of one minute 54.53 seconds, with Stoecker fourth fastest in 58.31 secs and Weston registering 56.32 secs as the third fastest of the men.

Compatriots Marcus Wyatt and Amelia Coltman initially appeared to have finished fourth in a time of one min 54.92 secs but were later disqualified for a weight infringement.

China’s Dan Zhao and Qinwei Lin took bronze, finishing 0.18 seconds behind Weston and Stoecker after Zhao produced the fastest individual time of the day.

The team event will makes its Winter Olympic debut at Milan Cortina next year.
