The British expect the best

Beijing 2022

The health crisis still blurs the landscape, but the British are showing their optimism for the Beijing 2022 Games. According to UK Sport, athletes from the United Kingdom could win a record seven medals next month in China. Their collective result could even prove to be even more historic at the 2022 Paralympic Winter Games. The British delegation brought home five medals – one gold in skeleton and four bronze in skeleton, freestyle skiing and snowboarding – at the PyeongChang Games in 2018. She took 19th place in the medal rankings. Sally Munday, the managing director of UK Sport, explained it on Thursday January 13: the potential of British athletes at the Beijing Games is between three and seven medals, then between five and nine medals at the Paralympic Games. “ These Beijing Winter Games offer great possibilities, she suggested. Access to these Games was extraordinarily difficult. And he still is. British athletes have had to constantly adapt to conditions and constraints. They showed great resilience and immense dedication to get to the Games. » Britain's best chances are in snowboarding, bobsleigh, skeleton and curling, where the duo of Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds (pictured above) are world champions in mixed doubles.
