Winter Olympics 2026: UK Sport sets medal ambitions for Team GB

The medal range for the Winter Paralympics, which are set to run between 6-15 March, is lower than Beijing 2022 because of “challenges throughout the cycle with injury and international competition opportunities”.

Last month, Menna Fitzpatrick, Britain’s most decorated Winter Paralympian with six medals, suffered a serious knee injury in training, but is undergoing treatment in a bid to compete.

The GB team is still expected to be “competitive” for medals “across a wide range of disciplines”, with Phil Smith, ParalympicsGB chef de mission, adding he was “confident we have a plan in place to give each and every athlete the best possible chance to deliver incredible performances”.

Funded through the National Lottery and government, UK Sport has invested more than £32.5m across the current four-year cycle for the Winter Olympics and Paralympics, with the “ambition for the UK to become an ever-greater force” in winter sports.
