  • Yarnold and Laura Deas were the first British athletes to win medals in the same event at the same Winter games.
  • Izzy Atkin won Great Britain's first-ever medal on skis.

Medal and performance targets

[edit]

On 9 January 2018, the funding body UK Sport announced their medal targets for Team GB at the 2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang with the target to win at least five medals which if achieved would be a record-breaking haul for a Winter Olympic Games.[8] Although the target was set at three medals the funding body predicted that Great Britain had the potential to win as many as ten medals, this total was not widely expected to be reached.
