WINTER OLYMPICS
GB skeleton stars Matt Weston and Tabby Stoecker with their gold medals
MATT Weston believes he has the potential to go even faster despite delivering a string of dominant performances to secure two skeleton gold medals at the Winter Olympics.
Weston led all the way in the men’s competition in Cortina to win by the best part of a second before producing yet another storming run to turn a 0.3-second deficit into a 0.17s victory in the mixed team competition with partner Tabby Stoecker.
He is the first British athlete to win two medals at the same Winter Olympics, but Weston revealed he achieved that landmark success despite nursing a shoulder issue.
