For a country that does not even boast a skeleton track, Britain's record at producing Olympic medal winners in the high-speed sliding sport is phenomenal.

Since skeleton returned to the program for the Salt Lake City Games in 2002, British sliders have won three gold medals, three bronze and one silver.

British women have been especially dominant, having won the last three Olympic titles with Lizzy Yarnold topping the podium in 2018 and 2014 and Amy Williams in 2010.
