Britain’s skeleton bobsleigh squad have warned their rivals not to write them off at next month’s Winter Olympics after revealing they have deliberately not gone “all guns blazing” during a mixed 2020-21 season.
The skeleton has been Britain’s gold medal banker at the past three Games, with Amy Williams winning in Vancouver in 2010 and Lizzy Yarnold achieving back-to-back victories in Sochi and Pyeongchang. However medal success looks more unlikely this time with Matt Weston, who sits 1oth in the world, the highest ranked member of the Team GB squad announced on Wednesday.
