As the winter season entered into full swing, November delivered plenty to be excited about ahead of the Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games.
There were World Championship, European Championship and World Cup medals as British athletes enjoyed another month of success.
Catch up on everything that happened for British Olympic sport in November.
Skeleton scenes
Matt Weston took Britain’s first World Cup victory of the season in the men’s skeleton at the 2025/26 IBSF World Cup in Cortina d’Ampezzo.
The reigning world champion took the first gold on offer for the season, and the first on the new Olympic sliding track at the Eugenio Monti Sliding Centre.
It was a particularly pleasing win for Weston, having recently returned from an injury that caused him to miss out on a pre-season training camp.
"I'm delighted with that win. It's been a tricky pre-season with the injury so to come here and do that is a massive boost," said Weston.
"It's been an incredible two or three weeks here - it's an amazing venue and a really interesting track - and I'm already looking forward to trying to match today's result when we come back for the big one.”
But he was not the only British medallist for long as Tabby Stoecker and Marcus Wyatt followed his impressive performance to take gold in the skeleton mixed team event.
The pair triumphed by 0.05 seconds in the event that will debut at the Olympics in February 2026.
Curling are in the house
Scotland earned two medals at the European Curling Championships in November with Team Mouat and Team Morrison both finishing on the podium.
Rebecca Morrison, along with Jennifer Dodds, Sophie Sinclair, Sophie Jackson and Fay Henderson bagged silver in Lohja, Finland.
They defeated Switzerland in the semi-finals before missing out on gold to Sweden 7-5 in the final.
Team Mouat also returned from Finland with medals round their necks as they took bronze.
Bruce Mouat, Grant Hardie, Bobby Lammie, Hammy McMillan Jr. and Kyle Waddell defeated Italy 9-3 in the bronze medal match to secure a spot on the podium.
Muir takes World Cup gold
Kirsty Muir flew to her first Big Air World Cup title in China to add more silverware to Britain’s burgeoning accolades in November.
The 21-year-old Scottish freestyle skier finished with a final score of 174.50.
"I'm so stoked. I was in it today to get my tricks down. I wanted to just focus on the tricks, the result was just the end outcome,” she reflected.
"Overall, I'm just so, so happy with how I skied, that's what I'm going to take away from this."
Jumping up a podium place
Away from the ice and snow, Bryony Page and Izzy Songhurst swapped their 2023 bronze for world silver in November as they finished second in the women’s synchro at the 2025 Trampoline Gymnastics World Championships.
They finished just behind Japan’s Saki Tanaka and Hikaru Mori who pipped them to gold in Pamplona, Spain.
Shooting to bronze
Seonaid McIntosh returned from injury in style as she became the first British woman to claim a medal in the 50m rifle three positions event at the ISSF World Championships.
Having only returned to training in October, after taking 14 months off after Paris 2024, McIntosh’s total of 454.6 was enough to secure her a place on the podium in Cairo.
"I'm really happy. I wasn't expecting a medal," said the 29-year-old Scot.
"There's still plenty to improve on, which is nice because it means I've got somewhere to go.
"The goal now is to build towards next year's World Championships. You'll definitely be seeing a lot more of me."
