Britain’s golden girl
GOLD medal winner Lizzy Yarnold jumps for joy in Sochi yesterday clutching her new prized possession. The 25-year-old won Team GB’s first gold of this year’s Winter Olympics, with a comprehensive victory in the skeleton on Friday having led from the first heat. She said: “I have worked so hard to get into this position and I am just so proud that my dreams have come true. I’m Olympic champion.”
Britain has now won a skeleton medal in all six Games in which the sport has featured.
