Development the focus for British Skeleton team this Friday 12/09/20
British Skeleton began the season in style in Latvia last month but it is athlete development rather than medal success that will be the focus in Austria this weekend and next.
Marcus Wyatt won the country’s first men’s World Cup medal for seven years just under a fortnight ago and Laura Deas twice recorded her best result for 21 months in the opening two races, while Ashleigh Pittaway produced a World Cup PB and Craig Thompson secured a top six spot in Sigulda.
But none of those four athletes will be racing in Igls this Friday and next as the opportunity to impress is handed to a group of sliders with far less experience but no shortage of potential.
