Quick Scoop

  • Of these, 13 are gold, 5 silver, and 17 bronze.
  • Earlier stats sometimes quote 12 Winter golds because they exclude or count differently the early figure-skating events and later updates; current tallies list 13 Winter golds.

A tiny bit of context

Great Britain’s Winter gold medals stretch from early figure skating in the 1920s and 1950s through to modern successes in skeleton and curling. In recent Games, athletes like Lizzy Yarnold in skeleton and the Team GB curlers have been key contributors to that gold-medal total.
