AMELIA COLTMAN

Amelia Coltman is a 2026 Olympian and a World Cup and European Championship medalist.

Amelia finished ninth at her debut Olympics in Cortina, having ended the most recent World Cup season ranked 10th in the world.

She 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 with a brilliant bronze.

She won her first World Cup gold in PyeongChang in November 2024 and followed that up with bronze in Lillehammer in February 2025 as she ended the 2024/25 season ranked fourth in the world.

Amelia has a full house of World Cup medals in the team event, with a gold and bronze in Lillehammer and St Moritz in 2024/25 and silver in Altenberg last season. She helped GB claim Overall World Cup gold in 2025/26 and she added to her individual World Cup medal tally with another bronze in Sigulda in December 2025.

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 Marcus 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.
