An incredible achievement – but I’m baffled that this is the winter sport that we’re world-class in. How does someone from the UK even get into Skeleton?

Is this the same skeleton that the Ukrainian guy had a chance to win before he got banned for honoring war dead Ukrainians?

I’m genuinely amazed when we win anything at the Winter Olympics. Great work.

It’s always amazing when we have an athlete who just dominates like that. I was so nervous watching, but he just kept getting faster and faster, extending his lead. Doing that, at that pace, 4 times and not putting a foot wrong once is just insane. It felt like watching Keely Hodgkinson at the Olympics two years ago or Adam Peaty when he was at his peak. Just amazing to watch.
And the first time in my life I’ve seen a British man win Winter Olympic gold, which seems mad but true. And the last time that happened was Torville and Dean. So when British men do win, they are absolutely perfect, like Matt’s been these last two days. And he has a chance for another on Sunday in the team event!

First British Man to win gold since Dean in 84. That’s crazy. 5 women’s golds in 5 different games since then.
