'Fiancee tells me off for being blase with gold medal'
· Yahoo Sports
Double Winter Olympic gold medallist Matt Weston says has been told off by his fiancee and agent for being too "blase" with his medals, which he hopes will inspire others.
The skeleton star won a solo and a team gold with skeleton partner Tabitha Stoecker in the 2026 games in Italy.

"You probably should be more careful than I am, but I really enjoy showing people and letting people hold them, and hopefully being able to hold them and see them inspires people to take up sport," he said.
"I took up this sport nine years ago not knowing where it would take me and now I'm sat here with two Olympic golds, so if holding these can do that to someone then I am more than happy to share them around."
Weston, who is from Crowborough, East Sussex, was born in Redhill, Surrey, and went to Bennett Memorial School in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, also carries his medals around in a small pouch knitted for him by former Olympic diver Tom Daley.
"It's struggling a bit with two of them, it's a good problem to have, but it's a very cool and unique thing," Weston said.
"That is actually rarer than the medals are!"
