Winter Olympics Star Now Favourite For BBC Sports Personality of the Year
Now just 4/1 to win the 2026 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award, Matt Weston has been one of the stars of the show at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan.
Weston has led the way for Team Great Britain at this year’s Winter Olympics, with the Surrey racer securing two gold medals – capping off the nation’s greatest ever day at the Winter version of the Games.
It’s early days in the SPOTY betting but Weston has climbed to the head of the market, with the skeleton star a shorter price than the likes of George Russell, Harry Kane and Luke Littler following his exploits in Italy.
