Overview

The British Bobsleigh and Skeleton teams have a proud record of success on the world stage, both in the years preceding the merger of the British Bobsleigh Association and the British Bob Skeleton Association and the seasons that have followed the creation of the BBSA in 2015.

The British Skeleton team won a remarkable hat-trick of medals at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in South Korea and have now won a staggering seven medals since the sport was re-introduced to the Olympic fold in 2002.

The bobsleigh programme most recently won Olympic bronze in 2014 in Sochi to take their own Olympic medal tally to five, while both sports have won multiple World Championship and World Cup medals since the last Olympic Games in 2022.

GB have now won 9 medals in skeleton since 2002, when the sport was reintroduced to the Olympic fold. (Matt Weston men’s gold and Weston and Tabby Stoecker team gold in 2026; Lizzy Yarnold gold, Laura Deas bronze and Dom Parsons bronze in 2018; Yarnold gold in 2014; Amy Williams gold in 2010; Shelley Rudman silver in 2006; Alex Coomber bronze in 2002.)
