BBC commentator John Hunt expressed disappointment with the camera work of the host broadcaster during the Winter Olympics. The crucial start of Matt Weston’s gold medal-winning mixed team skeleton run was missed by viewers. Weston, competing with Tabitha Stoecker, secured Britain’s second gold medal of the day by defeating two German teams. As Weston was about to start his run, the camera shifted focus away from him to the Team GB official giving the signal, causing frustration among viewers who missed the historic moment.

Hunt and others criticized the camerawork, with Hunt exclaiming his frustration at the missed opportunity. Weston’s remarkable 58.59-second run secured his second victory at the Games, making him the first British athlete to win two gold medals at a Winter Olympics. Stoeker initially posted a time just behind the Germans, but the Brits emerged victorious in the end.

Despite the technical glitch during the live broadcast, Weston and Stoeker’s exceptional performance propelled Great Britain to 12th place in the medal standings, with all three medals won being gold within a span of three days.
