Alpine Skiing

Billy Major battled against tough racing conditions to sit 13th after the first run of the men's slalom in Bormio, but ultimately finished 16th - just ahead of his team-mate Dave Ryding. Major said: "I gave it everything. I went for an attacking mindset and unfortunately just made some mistakes in some really important areas. It cost me a lot."

Major had a DNF (did not finish) when he competed in 2022, which was his Winter Olympics debut.

The greatest alpine skier Great Britain has ever produced, Dave Ryding was 17th in the men's slalom on his fifth appearance at a Winter Olympics.

He said: "I gave it my all until the last gate and that is a representation of my career."

Ryding retires as a legend, having become the first Briton to win an alpine World Cup race, when he triumphed in the Kitzbuhel slalom in 2022. His best Winter Olympics results were ninth in the men's slalom in 2022, and fifth in the team event at the same Games.

Laurie Taylor's Olympics ended abruptly when he failed to finish the first run of the men's slalom in snowy conditions in Bormio. He was not on his own though, as fewer than half of the field managed to get to the bottom of the Stelvio piste.

It was his second Games after Pyeongchang 2018, where he finished 26th in the slalom and fifth in the team event.

Pendry made her Winter Olympics debut at Milan-Cortina and featured in two events. She has been competing in biathlon since the age of 13 and made her World Cup debut in 2024. She said: "I'm an Olympian now so that's really pretty cool. I'm so happy."

Jefferies made his Winter Olympics debut at Milan-Cortina and competed in the 10km sprint and 20km. He was born and brought up in the French Alps to British parents and made the decision to switch to compete for GB in 2025.

Brad Hall is the most successful British men's bobsleigh pilot in World Cup history and was targeting a first Olympic medal at Milan-Cortina having piloted his crew to world silver and European gold in 2023. 

His two-man crew finished 12th and Hall said all focus would be on the four-man event - but they finished seventh. 

It was a disappointing result for Hall, who seemed stunned by the results, following a season plagued by injury and a lack of momentum coming into his second Games. 

A serving lance corporal in the Royal Marines, brakeman Taylor Lawrence was part of pilot Brad Hall's two- and four-man crews but sat out the second two heats of the two-man event as a precaution having struggled with a calf injury this season. 

He was replaced by Leon Greenwood for heats three and four - the team finished 12th - but returned for the four-man event. 

A brilliant first run left them third but the crew could not sustain that level and finished a disappointing seventh overall. 

Competing at his third Olympics, former sprinter Greg Cackett was part of Brad Hall's four-man crew at Milan-Cortina.

After things did not go to plan for Hall and Taylor Lawrence in the two-man event, focus was placed on the four-man - but it ended in disappointment with a seventh-place finish. 

The team did not enjoy their best season in the build-up to the Games and fell short of the mark at the Cortina sliding centre.

Leon Greenwood had not even taken up bobsleigh when the last Olympics took place in Beijing. 

The former police officer stepped in as brakeman for the two-man event when Taylor Lawrence pulled out as an injury precaution, finishing 12th with pilot Brad Hall. 

The crew suffered disappointment in the four-man event as they finished seventh, and Greenwood was unable to add an Olympic medal to his European bronze last year. 

Pilot Adele Nicoll made history in Cortina as the first British woman to compete in the monobob at a Winter Olympics - finishing 18th overall after a disappointing fourth run.

Nicoll sat 12th going into the final run but a series of errors proved costly. 

Nicoll partnered Ashleigh Nelson in the two-woman event and the pair finished 15th having sat in 21st place going into the final run. A superb drive from Nicoll clocked their fastest time of the competition and they soared up the standings.

Ashleigh Nelson became just the second British woman to feature at the summer and Winter Olympics when she competed at Milan-Cortina.

A Commonwealth gold-winning sprinter, Nelson turned to bobsleigh two years ago and finished 15th in the two-woman event alongside pilot Adele Nicoll after a brilliant final run.

Nelson represented Team GB at the Beijing 2008 and Tokyo 2020 Games and has won world and European Championship medals in the 4x100m relay as well as European bronze in the 100m in 2014. 

A mechanical aircraft engineer in the Royal Air Force, Alex Cartagena's introduction to sliding sports came in the military via skeleton. 

But he switched to bobsleigh for the 2021-22 season and had represented Great Britain 21 times before the end of the 2023-24 season. 

Cartagena's World Cup debut came in 2024 while he was selected for the 2024 world championships but work commitments meant he was unable to participate. 

Kya Placide completed Team GB's bobsleigh squad as the travelling reserve having quickly taken to bobsleigh, winning Europa Cup bronze with Adele Nicoll in her first ever race in Lillehammer just weeks after stepping into a bobsleigh on ice for the very first time. 

Placide's best result came at the Lake Placid World Cup in 2024 when she took two-woman silver alongside Nicoll, who encouraged her to take up the sport. 

She started out as a sprinter and has previously represented Wales, winning 60m bronze at the Welsh Indoor Championships in 2023. 

Together with Andrew Musgrave, James Clugnet recorded Great Britain's best finish at a Winter Olympics, with fifth in the team sprint.

"On the last hill, I was just a bit too far to be fighting for a medal, but I managed to overtake three teams on the last lap and bring GB to a best-ever result," he said.

He also finished 34th and 45th in his individual events. It was Clugnet's second Olympics, having made his debut in 2022.

This was a brilliant Winter Olympics for the 35-year-old, who was competing in his fifth Games. Four top-10 finishes cemented his place as the greatest cross country skier Great Britain has produced. Finishing fifth in the team sprint with James Clugnet is the best result at a Winter Olympics and, individually, Musgrave had two sixth places and a 10th.

He said after the 50km he had mixed feelings about the results as he wanted a medal. "Sixth in the world is a good result, but it's not the chunk of metal around my neck that I dreamed of," he said.

Davies made his Winter Olympic debut in Milan-Cortina and impressed with three top-20 finishes. Davies was born and brought up in Canada and took up the sport after watching the Vancouver Games in 2010.

"I'm going to take away all the good energy and good results and use it as fuel for the coming years," he said.

Pryce switched her allegiance from Canada to Great Britain this season and recorded solid results on her Winter Olympics debut. After her 24th place in the 10km, she said: "It was a great race to get experience and I had a great time out there. My coaches seemed happy so that's always a good sign."

Bruce Mouat had to settle for silver on his Olympic debut in Beijing, and it was the same again in Milan-Cortina after Canada beat GB in the gold-medal match.

The reigning world champions - winning in Moose Jaw in Canada in 2025 - fell short in their goal to become the first British men's curling gold medallists in 102 years.

Mouat also teamed up again with Jen Dodds in mixed curling. The 2021 world champions finished fourth in 2022 and in that same spot this time, despite romping through the round-robin stages.

Hardie claimed silver at the 2022 Games as part of Team Mouat and again in Milan-Cortina.

His cousin - Hammy McMillan Jr - was also in both those teams, and his uncle won the world title in 1999.

He has won the world championship twice - in 2023 and in 2025 - and has four European titles to his name. 

Hammy McMillan Jr comes from a well-established curling family, with his father - Hammy Sr - having won the world title in 1999. Despite competing in three Winter Olympics, he never won a medal.

His son did so at the first time of asking when he won a silver medal in Beijing - and has now done the same again.

He was a world junior champion in 2013 and has won the senior world title twice and the European Championships four times. 

Bobby Lammie is the youngest member of Team Mouat - he celebrated his 29th birthday in Cortina - but has been with the rink as they became double world champions in 2023 and 2025.

He added another silver to the one he claimed at the last Olympics, and has also won four European Championships. 

Kyle Waddell made his Olympic debut in 2018.

He was in a rink skipped by Kyle Smith and they finished fifth overall, just missing out on the medal matches.

He was not part of Team Mouat at the 2022 Games but has been with them since then, being the alternate when they won two world titles in 2023 and 2025 as well as two European Championships and now Olympic silver.

Jen Dodds was already an Olympic champion, winning gold on the final day of competition with Eve Muirhead’s rink in Beijing four years ago. Dodds was unable to add to that in Milan-Cortina, though.

Dodds and Bruce Mouat were unbeaten in the round-robin stage of the mixed doubles but lost to Sweden in the semis and Italy in the bronze-medal match to finish fourth in successive Games.  

In the women's event, Dodds was part of Team Morrison, who recovered well from a slow start but just missed out on the semi-finals.

Rebecca Morrison led a new-look women's team after Eve Muirhead's rink won the gold medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

Morrison has won three European Championship medals - bronze in 2022 and 2024 and silver in 2025.  And the team qualified for the Games by finishing sixth at the World Championships. 

However, losing the opening two matches left them struggling and they were edged out of the medal matches in the final end of the final match.

Sophie Jackson made her Olympic debut in Italy alongside most other members of Team Morrison.

She won mixed world bronze in 2016, was a World Junior silver medallist in 2017, and is a three-time European medallist.

Team Morrison qualified for the Olympic Games by finishing sixth at the 2025 World Championships and ended up in the same position in these Games.

Sophie Sinclair made her Olympic debut in Milan-Cortina having already competed at  six World Championships and a number of European Championships.

She was named in the World Women's All-Star team in 2025 after helping Scotland finish sixth to qualify an Olympics berth for Great Britain. 

And she impressed again as the GB rink finished sixth at Milan-Cortina.

Fay Henderson was the youngest member of Team Morrison at just 24 years old.

She won gold at the World Junior Curling Championships in 2023 and was the alternate for the 2026 Winter Olympics. She did not make it on to the ice.

Fear and partner Lews Gibson recorded a season-best score in the team event in Milan, raising hopes they could compete for GB's Olympic figure skating medal in 32 years.

It was not to be, as Fear made an early mistake in their free dance leading, to them missing out on the podium.

Still, Fear and Gibson - who won Britain’s first global medal for 40 years in 2025 and have finished on the podium in each of the previous four European Championships - remain among the world's best.

After earning a top-10 place in ice dance on their Olympic debut at Beijing 2022, Gibson and partner Lilah Fear could not quite push on as much as hoped.

However, they did help Britain compete in the team event for the first time since the first Olympic event at Sochi 2014.

And their routines - to a Spice Girls mix in rhythm dance and to a Scottish medley in free dance - remain a crowd favourite.

The youngest member of Team GB's figure skating squad, Bekker partnered with James Hernandez in the ice dance competition.

She and Hernandez finished an eye-catching 11th place at the recent European Championships in Sheffield.

And they built on that by reaching the free dance on their Olympic debut, outscoring many more experienced couples.

While they have usually played second fiddle to Fear and Gibson in domestic championships, Phebe Bekker and James Hernandez have emerged as a force on their own at these Games.

They performed to music from the Romeo and Juliet opera in the free dance, following a more upbeat George Michael medley in the rhythm section.

And they set a season-best overall score of 179.45, further raising hopes for what they might achieve in future.

Anastasia Vaipan-Law suffered a fall in the free skate at the European Championships in January, and in the team event in Milan during the short program.

But she and Luke Digby recovered to set a season best in the pairs short program and qualify for the free skate.

The look of delight on her and her partner's faces after the short program was a highlight of GB's campaign at Milano Ice Skating Arena.

Luke Digby recovered from a wrist injury which hampered his preparations for the Games to reach the final round of the pairs event with partner Anastasia Vaipan-Law.

It had severely impacted their ability to train, with Digby unable to perform any lifts until shortly before competition began.

But they represented themselves well as the first British couple in the Olympics pairs event since 2014.

In Milan, Edward Appleby formed part of the GB squad in the team event - where representatives in men's, women's, pairs and ice dance compete to earn points for their country.

It was the first time Team GB entered the team event since its Olympic debut at Sochi 2014, and Appleby set a season's best 69.68.

It was not enough to help Britain into the top five and compete for the medals, but they did finish above Poland in the standings.

British champion in the women's singles, Kristen Spours had to fight back after surgery on a spinal injury she suffered last March.

She confirmed she will retire from the sport later this year, admitting that she has struggled with her mental health and the limitations on her body following surgery.

Spours finished last in the women's singles as she was unable to perform a double axel - one of the required elements in the short program - because of her injury.

Kirsty Muir, appearing at her second Olympics, achieved two agonising fourth-place finishes.

In the slopestyle, she finished just 0.41 points short of a bronze medal, while in the big air, she was 3.5 points shy of the podium.

In 2022, she was the youngest member of Team GB and placed fifth in the big air, and eighth in slopestyle.

Chris McCormick made his Olympic debut at Milan-Cortina, competing in the freeski slopestyle and big air.

He missed out on the finals in both his events, with only the top 12 qualifying.

However, given he came into the Games nursing an ankle injury, he said "to even make it to the start gate is a small victory".

Zoe Atkin won halfpipe bronze on the last day of competition to win Team GB's fifth and final medal at the 2026 Winter Olympics.

It matched the colour won by her sister, Izzy, in the slopestyle at the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang - GB's first Olympic medal on skis.

It also adds a first Olympic medal to the World Championship title Atkin won in 2025, a win that completed her set of a medal of every colour at world level.

Competing at his fourth Winter Olympics, Gus Kenworthy finished sixth in the men's halfpipe final.

Kenworthy, who won Olympic slopestyle silver for the United States in 2014 but in 2019 switched allegiance to Great Britain, had retired after the Beijing Games but returned after three years off skis.

He had to self-fund his way to the Olympics, but vowed he was "not done" after the Milan-Cortina final.

Liam Richards made his Olympic debut at Milan-Cortina, finishing 17th in the men's halfpipe.

It realised a lifelong dream for the former New Zealand junior champion, who joined the British squad in 2024.

In December he recorded his first top-10 World Cup finish in Copper.

Competing at his second Olympics, a disappointed Ollie Davies finished 27th in the ski cross.

A former Alpine skier on the British squad, he switched to ski cross as a teenager and was crowned junior world champion in 2019.

Two years later, he finished fourth at the senior World Championships, and in 2023, he achieved his first World Cup podium with a silver medal in Reiteralm.

Makayla Gerken Schofield was making her second appearance at the Winter Olympics and finished 22nd in both her events, including the debuting dual moguls.

It came four years after she sealed Team GB’s best-ever moguls finish with her eighth position.

Gerken Schofield recorded a first World Cup podium in the dual moguls in 2023, and is a veteran of five World Championships. 

Mateo Jeannesson finished 30th on his Winter Olympic debut in the individual moguls and was forced to withdraw from the dual moguls after a flare-up of an existing heel injury.

Born to a French father and a British mother, Jeannesson started as an Alpine skier before switching to freestyle as a teenager, deciding to focus solely on moguls at 14.

He won a first Europa Cup in 2022 and a first World Cup top-20 finish the following year, and was crowned junior world champion in 2024.

As a generational talent, Mia Brookes came into the Winter Olympics as one of Team GB's best hopes for a medal, and she came so close in the big air.

She ultimately finished fourth, but would have won a medal had she not over-rotated on landing her backside 1620 - a trick featuring four and a half rotations that had never been landed in women's competition before.

In her favoured slopestyle event, she failed to qualify for the final, placing 16th with only the top 12 progressing.

Three years after a training crash in which she hit a wall of ice and nearly died, Maisie Hill made her Olympic debut at Milan-Cortina 2026.

She missed out on the finals in both her events, placing 21st in the slopestyle and 29th in the big air.

Txema Mazet-Brown made his Olympic debut at Milan-Cortina but missed out on a place in the final in both his events.

Mazet-Brown learned to ski in the French Alps before moving to New Zealand when he was three, where he first picked up a snowboard at the age of nine.

He was big air junior world champion in 2024 and later that year switched to represent Great Britain - the home country of his mother - and has achieved two top-10 World Cup finishes.

Charlotte Bankes teamed up with Huw Nightingale to win mixed team snowboard cross gold - Great Britain's first Olympic title on snow.

In the earlier individual event, a frustrated Bankes had exited in the quarter-finals for a second successive Games, despite being a favourite for a medal.

Bankes, who was competing at her fourth Winter Olympics, is a two-time world champion, having won one individual title and one in the team event with Nightingale in 2023.

Huw Nightingale teamed up with Charlotte Bankes to win mixed team snowboard cross gold - Great Britain's first Olympic title on snow.

In the individual event, he placed 26th after being knocked out of the competition in the first round.

In winning the mixed team title, Nightingale and Bankes added Olympic gold to the World Championship gold they won in 2023.

Matt Weston arrived in Cortina as one of Team GB's big medal hopes and delivered on that expectation, sealing gold in emphatic fashion in the men's and the new mixed team event alongside Tabitha Stoecker. 

Weston set five track records in his five runs at the Cortina sliding track to cruise to gold in both events and become a double Olympic champion. 

His two golds add to the world championship title he defended last year while he also won the Crystal Globe - the overall World Cup title - three years in a row. 

Marcus Wyatt arrived at the Winter Olympics as a medal hopeful but struggled to get to grips with the technical Cortina track and ultimately finished ninth in the men's individual event. 

The 2024 European champion was well placed for a medal in the mixed event, where he paired with Freya Tarbit, but narrowly missed out with the two German teams and compatriots Matt Weston and Tabitha Stoecker finishing ahead of them. 

Wyatt finished 16th at Beijing 2022 and his performance in Italy marks a significant improvement on that.

Making her Olympic debut in Cortina, Amelia Coltman finished ninth in the women's event after four solid runs. 

As the third-fastest British woman in the event she did not compete in the mixed team event with Tabitha Stoecker and Freya Tarbit selected as the fastest two British women. 

Coltman won European bronze in 2024, Britain’s first European women's medal since 2015, and finished the most recent season ranked fourth in the world.

Tabitha Stoecker made history by becoming the first mixed skeleton team Olympic champion alongside Matt Weston. 

The former trapeze artist finished fifth overall in the women's event, narrowly missing out on an individual medal but, as the fastest British woman, competed alongside fastest man Weston in the team event. 

Her run in the mixed event left Weston with work to do to win gold but the pair secured top spot ahead of the two German teams. 

Freya Tarbit enjoyed a highly impressive Winter Olympic debut, finishing seventh in the women’s event and the second-fastest of the British contingent behind Tabitha Stoecker. 

That led to her being selected for the mixed team event, where she finished fourth alongside Marcus Wyatt. 

Tarbit’s time of 1:00:47 made her the fastest woman in the mixed team event and the pair missed out on a medal by 0.11 seconds. 

Following a reduced budget for British short track speed skating, Treacy was the sole representative in short track in Milan.

He reached the final in the 1500m, but was penalised for causing a collision. He also crashed out in the heats of the 500m and 1,000m.

Afterwards, Treacy expressed his frustration at a lack of funding and facilities for short track in Great Britain.

After becoming the first female skater to represent Team GB in long track for 40 years at Beijing 2022, Smeding returned four years later for another Olympic tilt.

She has struggled with a hip injury and moved her training base from Netherlands to Canada, but was back to fitness for Milan.

She came close to cracking the top 10 in the 1,000m, and will return to race over 1,500m on 20 February.
