Team GB's build-up to the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Games


With the Olympics being less than a month away and the Paralympics being less than 2 months away, use this thread to discuss about Team GB's build-up to the Milan-Cortina 2026 Olympics and Paralympics.

The hub thread for Milan-Cortina 2026 is here!
Team GB has set a target of 4-8 medals. 5 would tie GB's Winter Olympics record, 6 and above would the best ever performance by Team GB. Do you think this is realistic?

Everything is looking very positive for Team GB this year, so much more opportunities than last time. We should know the full team soon as the qualification period for the Winter Olympics ends tomorrow.

It's so lovely that they wore items made by Tom Daley!

I predict lesser than four medals in total for British team, but five is not highely unlikely. Good luck and lot of success as possible for British!

Three times gold and medals in total so far. Team GB has outdone my personal expectations, what is about yours?
Three times gold, one time silver and bronze for each. Exactly five medals in total. @Geo Lover 7 great success for Great Britain, I think.
