• British sledder has high hopes for new mixed team event

• ‘We’re going to be one of the strongest sets of teams’

Matt Weston celebrated becoming the first British athlete to win a gold medal at these Olympics by having three slices of margherita pizza and then going straight to bed. “Some people might find it surprising,” Weston said on Saturday morning, “but I’ve got to keep my head together for the team race on Sunday.”

The mixed team skeleton is a new event at these Olympics, and it means Weston has a shot at becoming the first British athlete to win two medals at the same Winter Olympics.
