Matt Weston wins 10th World Cup skeleton gold in Italy

A hamstring injury saw Weston miss a pre-season training camp in Norway.

“I’m not able to push at anywhere near my usual pace but I feel like I’ve really clicked with the track and that showed,” said Weston.

“To start 24th and then 18th but still get the win proves that my sliding was on point even though I’ve missed out on a lot of ice time because of the injury.”

Weston was particularly pleased with his victory because it came at the venue that will be used in February’s Winter Olympic Games.

“It’s been an incredible two or three weeks here – it’s an amazing venue and a really interesting track – and I’m already looking forward to trying to match today’s result when we come back for the big one,” said Weston.

“I know that this result won’t mean anything come the Olympics but it’s a great way to start the season and it will definitely give me confidence when we come back here in February.”

The Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics will take place in Italy, from 6-22 February 2026.
