Team GB picked up another gold medal on a super Sunday at the Winter Olympics.
Tabby Stoecker and Matt Weston took gold in the mixed team skeleton event in incredible fashion as the latter won his second of the Games.
In an stunning run, Weston overturned a 0.30 second deficit after he and Stoecker were languishing in fourth following her efforts.
His time of 1.59:36 was a track record and ensured the pair, who were ranked top seeds for the event, won by 0.17 seconds.
They edged out their German rivals Susanne Kehrer and Axel Jungk, who took silver – and Jacqueline Pfeifer and Christopher Grotheer, who took bronze.
Freya Tarbit and Marcus Wyatt narrowly missed out on bronze for Team GB by an agonising 0.01 seconds.
Speaking on the BBC’s coverage of the event after Weston’s exploits, two-time Olympic bobsledder John Jackson said: ‘That was absolutely immaculate! He has been the cream of the crop of anybody on this track.
‘This is history. This is the first time GB have won three gold medals at a winter games.
‘He just keeps raising the bar to new standards, and that was absolutely nail-biting stuff when Tabby didn’t quite give the run she wanted to give him a chance.
‘Matt Weston absolutely destroyed the field, and a lot of that was done in the first 50 meters.
‘He is the first Brit to win two gold medals. What an amazing achievement.’
Their victory ensured Team GB won three gold medals at a single Winter Olympics for the first time after Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale triumphed in the snowboard cross mixed team earlier on Sunday.
Weston had won gold in the men’s skeleton event on Friday.
