"We are absolutely delighted with that. I think we can all walk away from this Games incredibly proud of the successes that we've had and the breakthrough moments that we've had and we'll be looking to do more of that.

"It has been a historic Winter Games and what an incredible team we have had out here in Milan-Cortina, she said. Muirhead, however, also stressed that the medal table didn't tell the whole story with a record 24 top-10 finishers, surpassing the previous best of 18 from Sochi. We have seen some incredible performances on the snow and in the arenas and a handful of fourth places, which any other day could have been very different results, she said."
Team GB finished 15th in the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics with five medals, equalling the totals from Sochi 2014 and Pyeongchang 2018. The delegation won a record three gold medals: Matt Weston in the individual skeleton and with Tabitha Stoecker in the mixed event; Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale in mixed snowboard cross. Zoe Atkin won bronze in the women's halfpipe and the men's curling team secured silver. UK Sport performance director Kate Baker called it the most successful Games ever for Britain in medals and champions. The team recorded a record 24 top-10 finishes, with several near-misses highlighting fine margins.
