Matt Weston is nearing his second consecutive IBSF Skeleton World Cup title after winning at St. Moritz, Switzerland, on January 10. This victory follows his earlier win in Winterberg, Germany, giving him a strong lead in the season standings. With one event remaining in Lillehammer on February 7, Weston holds a 123-point advantage over fellow Briton Marcus Wyatt. He only needs to finish 15th or better to secure the title. Weston has shown consistent performance this season, despite competition from reigning world champion Christopher Grotheer. Grotheer won the first four rounds, but injuries and results allowed Weston to regain control of the standings.
