Matt Weston has won gold in the men's singles skeleton competition, securing Team GB's first medal at the Winter Olympics in Italy.

The 28-year-old, a world and European champion, had been the favourite for gold after leading at the halfway stage of the event, with track records in the first two heats.

A near faultless run in his final heat at the Milano Cortina Games saw him increase his margin of victory to 0.88s, bringing the gold home.
