British skeleton racer Matt Weston won his second European title as compatriot Tabby Stoecker claimed a silver medal in St Moritz.
Weston came away with a combined two-run time of two minutes 16.58 seconds to beat Italy’s Amedeo Bagnis by 0.91secs.
It followed Weston’s victory over Bagnis at the same track at the World Championships in 2023, and followed his World Cup win there on Wednesday.
The result makes Weston a multiple European champion, joining Kristan Bromley (2004, 2005, 2008 and 2009) and Shelley Rudman (2009 and 2011) as the only Britons to win the title more than once.
It is the third time in four years the men’s European title has been won by a British athlete, after Marcus Wyatt claimed gold in 2024 following Weston’s first triumph.
Earlier on Friday, Stoecker secured European Championship silver in the women’s race becoming the sixth British woman to win a continental medal since the event began in 2003.
