Britain confident of meeting Games target
January 15, 2026
|The Straits Times
Britain will aim for four to eight medals at the Milano-Cortina Winter Olympics, with team chiefs quietly confident they can beat the record of five achieved at Sochi 2014 and Pyeongchang 2018.
-
The team returned with only two medals in 2022 in Beijing - a gold in women's curling and a silver in the men's — but with world championship success across the various sports in the current Olympic cycle, optimism is running high.
UK Sport says it has set the target range, rather than a specific number, in collaboration with the governing bodies.
"We should absolutely feel confident. We have so many athletes who have achieved podium after podium, which is unprecedented," Kate Baker, director of performance and people at UK Sport, said on Jan 13.
