Winter Olympics 2026: Weston ends GB drought, Heraskevych’s appeal rejected by Cas – as it happened

Matt Weston wins gold for Great Britain in the men's skeleton and Ilia Malinin finishes in a shock eighth place in the men's figure skating final

Italian biathlete Rebecca Passler will be able to participate in the Winter Olympics despite failing a doping test, the Italian skiing federation (Fisi) said on Friday. Italy's anti-doping body (Nado) upheld her appeal against a provisional suspension that followed a positive test for the banned substance Letrozole on 26 January.

Nado's Court of Appeal acknowledged the possibility of unintentional ingestion or unknowing contamination of the substance. Passler will rejoin her teammates starting Monday, February 16, when she will be available to the coaching staff for the subsequent competitions on the Olympic programme," Fisi said in a statement.
