Laura Deas insists a Winter Olympics without any snow will not inhibit the spectacle for the adoring British public as she aims to extend Team GB’s line of skeleton golden girls.
Welsh ace Deas, 33, bagged bronze in PyeongChang four years ago and will represent Britain’s chief sliding hope when she takes to the Beijing track next month.
