GB's Weston defends men's World Cup skeleton title
Great Britain's Matt Weston secured back-to-back titles at the skeleton World Cup as team-mate Marcus Wyatt took second.
Weston only finished eighth in the season's final race in Lillehammer, Norway, but it was enough for the 27-year-old to defend his overall title with 1640 points.
Olympic champion Christopher Grotheer, of Germany, finished third in the overall table behind Wyatt, who scored 1557 points.
Meanwhile, Britain's Amelia Coltman claimed World Cup bronze in the women's skeleton before joining forces with Wyatt on Saturday to lead GB to mixed team gold.
Weston became the third Briton after Alex Coomber (2000, 2001 and 2002) and Kristan Bromley (2004 and 2008) to claim multiple World Cup titles.
"I don't think what I have achieved this season and over the past few years has sunk in yet and it probably won't until I retire," Weston said.
"To have British athletes ranked number one and two in the world when we don't even have an ice track in the UK is amazing really."
Wins at Winterberg and St Moritz last month meant that Weston only needed to finish in the top 15 in the season finale to secure successive World Cup crowns.
China's Lin Qinwei took the gold in Lillehammer with Samuel Maier finishing second and Wyatt taking third for his fifth medal of the season.
Meanwhile, it was the only time Weston did not finish on the podium during the eight-race season.
"We couldn't really ask for more than GB being one and two in the world - you can't argue with that," said Wyatt.
Weston became the first Briton in 16 years to win the overall men's World Cup title in St Mortiz last year.
Golden finish for Coltman & Wyatt
Coltman and Wyatt's victory in the mixed team event in Lillehammer on Saturday ensured GB ended the World Cup skeleton season with a record 19 medals across eight individual races and four team events, with seven of those gold.
The British pair finished in a combined time of one minute 50.72 seconds to pip Austria's individual medallists Janine Flock and Maier to top spot by two hundredths of a second.
America's Mystique Ro and Austin Florian took bronze in an event that will make its debut at the Winter Olympics in 2026.
It was a second World Cup medal in as many days for 28-year-old Coltman, who claimed bronze in the women's skeleton on Friday.
She finished 0.85 seconds behind race winner Flock and 0.39 outside the time set by second-placed Ro.
The women's event also doubled up as the European Championships, meaning Coltman was bumped up to silver, with American Ro removed from the continental standings.
Her performance also secured a fourth-placed finish for Coltman in the women's overall standings, the best finish for a Briton since Lizzy Yarnold claimed silver a decade ago.
