About Tabby
Tabby Stoecker is an Olympic Champion, World Cup race winner, double World Championship medalist, European Championship medalist, double Junior World Championship medal winner and Junior European Champion despite only making her international debut in December 2021.
Tabby won Olympic gold in the team event with Matt Weston in Milan Cortina in February 2026, becoming the country’s youngest Olympic Champion in the sport at just 26 years of age.
She joins an illustrious list of British Skeleton Olympic gold medalists, following in the footsteps of Amy Williams, Lizzy Yarnold and Weston, after she helped GB triumph on the biggest stage of all at her maiden Games.
Tabby placed fifth in the individual event in Italy, having become the first British woman to win an Overall World Cup medal for 11 years when she claimed bronze after another stellar season in which she twice won silver in Lillehammer and Sigulda and was only outside the top eight once all year. She also won European Championship silver in St Moritz in January, meaning she has medalled on every race circuit or major competition she has ever competed in, bar a singular appearance on the North American Cup back in March 2024.
Tabby won World Cup gold in La Plagne in just her second top-tier start in December 2023 as Great Britain celebrated its first female race win since 2015 and she backed up that brilliant showing with bronze in Igls only a week later.
She finished her debut World Cup campaign ranked No10 in the world and was the top junior across the eight-race season.
A silver medal alongside Weston in the team event at the World Championships in Winterberg in January 2024 was another memorable moment in an outstanding season after she came agonisingly close to an individual medal at the global showpiece when she missed the podium by two hundredths of a second when finishing fourth.
She won World Cup team gold with Marcus Wyatt in December 2024 and again won World championship silver in the team event with Weston in Lake Placid in March 2025.
Tabby is no stranger to the podium on other circuits, either, having won two golds, a silver and a bronze on her way to overall Europa Cup silver in 2023 and having twice won Junior World Championship (JWC) silver in 2022 and '23. The first of those JWC silvers was British Skeleton's best performance in that competition since double Olympic Champion Lizzy Yarnold triumphed at the same venue in 2012 and it came only a month after her first-ever competition.
Tabby was crowned Junior European Champion in Igls in February 2022 and she won silver at the same event in Altenberg 10 months later.
She became part of the British Skeleton Talent Team via the discover Your Gold campaign in 2019 and went on to finish seventh on her EC debut in Igls in late 2021.
A former student at City of London School for Girls, Tabby was a British Schools Gymnastics Association national trio champion and also excelled at acrobatics and netball.
