Skeleton: Matt Weston wins European title as Tabby Stoecker takes silver

British skeleton racer Matt Weston has won his second European title, taking the gold medal in St Moritz with a combined two-run time of 2:16.58 seconds. This victory follows his win at the same track during the World Championships last year and cements his position as one of the top British athletes on the continent.

Compatriot Tabby Stoecker claimed silver, setting a two-run time of 2:22.23 in the penultimate top-tier race before next month's Olympic Winter Games. The result continues Britain's strong recent success in the women's European Championships, with British athletes now winning medals at every event during the current Olympic cycle.

Weston's victory marks his fifth win this season, solidifying his position as a dominant force in the sport. The 25-year-old former trapeze artist has been on a roll, with several top finishes in recent events. His success is a timely boost ahead of the Winter Olympics, which are set to take place in Italy later this month.

Stoecker's silver medal finish is still a notable achievement for the British athlete, and it comes as no surprise given her strong form in recent events. The result also boosts her position in the overall World Cup standings, with Stoecker now fourth in the rankings ahead of next Friday's season finale in Altenberg, Germany.

The medals won by Weston and Stoecker mark a significant milestone for British athletes in skeleton racing, who have made strides in recent years to become more competitive on the world stage. With both Weston and Stoecker set to compete in the Winter Olympics, fans can look forward to an exciting few weeks of competition from two of Britain's top athletes.

I'm so over the lack of live streaming options for skeleton racing events ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ”๏ธ... I mean, come on, it's 2025 and we're still waiting for decent streams? And don't even get me started on the commentating - it's all so dry ๐Ÿ˜ด. Can't they bring in some fresh talent to spice things up?

And what's with the scheduling? Two events in one month? That's just too much for athletes like Stoecker ๐Ÿคฏ... I feel like we're doing them a disservice by piling on too many races before the Olympics. Not to mention the pressure is already building, and they need some time to recharge and strategize.

I guess it's nice to see British athletes killing it in skeleton racing ๐Ÿ’ช... but can't we get some more variety in the competitions? It's always the same two events - St Moritz and Altenberg. Where are the other tracks? ๐Ÿค”

๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ’ช I'm loving this young Brit's skeleton racing skills! Five wins this season is no joke! You know what's even more impressive? The fact that Matt Weston used to be a trapeze artist - talk about a career pivot! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ Anyway, it's awesome to see British athletes killing it in the European Championships and setting their sights on the Winter Olympics. Those two medal winners are definitely bringing home some serious bragging rights for Team GB. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Keep it up, Matt and Tabby! ๐Ÿ’ฅ
