AMELIA COLTMAN

Amelia Coltman won European Championship bronze in 2024 and finished the most recent season ranked fourth in the world.

Amelia made her maiden top-flight podium with a superb showing in the European Championships in Sigulda in February 2024 as she claimed Great Britain's first women's European Championship medal since 2015.

She won her first World Cup gold in PyeongChang in November 2024 and followed that up with bronze in Lillehammer in February 2025 and has also been a gold medalist and bronze medalist in the team event, with Marcus Wyatt in Lillehammer and Matt Weston in St Moritz respectively last season.

She finished sixth in the individual competition at her debut World Championships in Winterberg in February 2024 and was fourth in the team event with Wyatt before placing 14th in Lake Placid in the 2025 individual event.

Amelia enjoyed a brilliant beginning to her racing career as she was crowned the overall Europa Cup (EC) winner in her debut season. Having finished second in her first ever international race in December 2019, Amelia became the first Brit to take the EC title in their maiden season of competitive sliding after she collected five medals across seven races. She won two gold, two bronze and a silver to finish well clear at the top of the rankings despite the fact that the British team sat out the sixth race of the season in Sigulda. Britain’s most successful Winter Olympian, Lizzy Yarnold, won overall EC silver in her debut season in 2010/11 and Brogan Crowley won gold in 2017/18 two years into her international career but Amelia was the first to finish top of the standings in her very first season of competition.

Amelia joined the GB Skeleton Talent team in the summer of 2017 while a final year Sport and Exercise Science student at Sheffield Hallam University.

An all-round sportswoman, Amelia was a county high jump and long jump champion and a keen hockey player but her primary sporting focus prior to skeleton was racquet sports. She won a national silver medal with her school badminton team and was a county doubles champion and national mixed doubles champion in tennis before successfully coming through the UK Sport talent identification campaign, Discover Your Gold, in 2016/17.
