Great Britain’s Matt Weston secured back-to-back titles at the skeleton World Cup as team-mate Marcus Wyatt took second.<\/b><\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Olympic champion Christopher Grotheer, of Germany, finished third in the overall table behind Wyatt, who scored 1557 points.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Briton’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.<\/p>\n
Weston became the third Briton after Alex Coomber (2000, 2001 and 2002) and Kristan Bromley (2004 and 2008) to claim multiple World Cup titles.<\/p>\n
“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. <\/p>\n
“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.”<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, it was the only time Weston did not finish on the podium during the eight-race season.<\/p>\n
“We couldn’t really ask for more than GB being one and two in the world – you can’t argue with that,” said Wyatt.<\/p>\n
