The skeleton superstar became the first British double gold medallist at the same Winter Olympics with a performance for the ages to clinch mixed team gold alongside Tabitha Stoecker.

“I’m extremely proud of what I've been able to achieve in the past couple of days,” Weston said.

“I’m a bit more in control of my emotions this time.
