The fact that people have watched me and been inspired to actually go and apply is very surreal, but I'm so proud to be a part of that,
- said Weston, who discovered the sport through a British Olympic Association talent ID programmeReutersreuters.com/sports/skeleton…
I think doing the individual is one thing, it’s an amazing position to be in, the fact that I’m here with a gold medal in front of me on the table, it feels absolutely amazing,
Luckily, I felt like I knew what I needed to do,
It’s pretty special to be a part of that to be honest,
I’m going to be whisked off somewhere, I have no idea where, I have no idea what we’re doing,
