Great Britain’s Matt Weston continued his perfect start to the Skeleton World Cup campaign with gold in Sigulda, Latvia, as compatriot Marcus Wyatt finished second.
The 28-year-old has won the first three races of the 2025-26 season, while Wyatt’s silver medal on Friday is his first individual medal of the campaign.
Weston finished with a combined time of one minute 40.35 seconds with Wyatt finishing 0.85 seconds behind. Felix Keisinger of Germany completed the podium, finishing just 0.03 seconds after the silver medallist.
His victory takes him 107 points clear of China’s Zheng Yin at the top of the World Cup rankings. Wyatt sits in sixth place, 62 points behind Yin.
They race again in Sigulda on Saturday before a Christmas break, returning to action in Winterberg, Germany on 2 January.
