One of Team GB's best hopes for gold before the Winter Olympics began was the men's curling team.

But the reigning world champions, with Bruce Mouat as skip, were in danger of failing to qualify for the semi-finals.

GB needed a favour from Switzerland in the final round of matches to ensure they squeezed through in fourth place, and then produced one of their best performances to beat the undefeated Swiss in the semi-finals.

Millions were glued to their TV screens to watch Saturday's final against Canada, which was neck-and-neck until the ninth end, when a Canadian score of three put them in control.

For the second consecutive Games, the quartet of Mouat, Grant Hardie, Bobby Lammie and Hammy McMillan would have to settle for Olympic silver.

The impact of these Games has been monumental from Team GB.

The day after Matt Weston won his first gold, 3,500 got in touch with British Skeleton to get involved with their programme. That is massive.

All of our success is incredible, but the lasting legacy for me is these athletes who have dared to dream and risk with all of the world watching.

It didn't always pay off, but we saw athletes go there. The fact they wear their heart on their sleeve, and learning from failure is something that we really get in these Olympics.

Honourable mention goes to Matt Weston and Tabby Stoecker for winning the mixed team skeleton.

For me, it has to go to Elana Meyers Taylor in the women's monobob. It is her first gold medal after many silvers and bronzes and she is the oldest bobsleigh champion at 41 years old.

Great Britain's third gold medal of the Games came a few hours after the success of Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale.

Men's champion Matt Weston was at it again, partnering Tabby Stoecker to victory in the mixed team skeleton.

That's easy - Huw Nightingale and Charlotte Bankes taking gold in the mixed team snowboarding cross.

It's always drama and it always delivers. With the British gold medal, the first ever on snow, it was unbelievable.

After Matt Weston's skeleton gold, Great Britain only had to wait another couple of days for gold medal number two at Milan-Cortina.

Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale secured GB's first ever snowboarding gold medal in the mixed team snowboard cross.

We had to include him.

A moment of sheer ecstasy from Matt Weston as he wins his first gold medal in the men's skeleton.

Not only a huge moment for himself, but he also got the ball rolling for Great Britain, who have gone on to have their most successful ever Winter Olympics.

Great Britain had to wait until day seven of the Games for their first medal - and it was a golden moment for Matt Weston in the men's skeleton.

Weston dominated the competition from start to finish to continue GB's fine record in the skeleton in recent years.

And it wouldn't be his final appearance on the podium, either...

If someone had told you 16 days ago that Team GB would win three gold medals at the Winter Olympics, would you have believed it?

Perhaps not - but it happened.

Tonight, flagbearers Matt Weston and Charlotte Bankes will lead Team GB into the closing ceremony in Verona as the curtains are drawn on a historic Games for the nation.

In winning five medals, GB has equalled its record best from both 2014 and 2018.

But it has been the nation's most successful Winter Olympics since the moment snowboarders Bankes and Huw Nightingale won the second of those golds in the mixed team snowboard cross.

Never before had Great Britain won more than one gold medal at a Winter Olympics. That fact has now been buried deep in the snow.

Coverage of the closing ceremony is now under way on BBC Two - watch it via the link at the top of this page.

Matt Weston proved Friday 13th is not to be feared when he brought home men's skeleton gold and Great Britain's first medal of the Games on day seven.

And in typical London bus fashion, once he had stepped on the podium, Team GB's medals came rolling in and so did the British records...

Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale won snowboard cross mixed team gold to secure Team GB's first ever Winter Olympic title on snow less than 48 hours later.

And at this point, it was the first time Great Britain had won two gold medals at a single Winter Olympics.

But GB weren't done there...

Team GB made further history by winning two Winter Olympic titles on one day for the first time as Weston and Tabby Stoecker clinched mixed team skeleton gold.

Weston's second gold also makes him the most decorated British man in Winter Olympics history.

Then came the curling, the sport the public seemed to have fallen in love with over the past two weeks.

Bruce Mouat, Grant Hardie, Hammy McMillan and Bobby Lammie - plus alternate Kyle Waddell - were unable to end a 102-year wait for a men's Winter Olympic curling gold when they lost to Canada in the gold-medal match.

The Scottish boys do, though, go home as silver medallists for the second successive Olympics.

And last, but by no means least, Zoe Atkin rounded off Great Britian's Winter Olympics with halfpipe bronze earlier today.

Atkin is only the second British athlete to win an Olympic medal on skis and she shares that title with her sister Zoe!

Pretty well, actually!

GB won three golds at a single Winter Olympics for the first time and ended with five medals in total - three golds, one silver and one bronze.

That tally placed GB 15th in the medal table.

Norway led the way with 18 golds among a tally of 41 medals overall.
