Coltman is aiming to continue the nation’s strong tradition in skeleton.

“Wow! I’m so grateful for being featured as one of (the) TeamGB Ten to Watch ahead of Beijing 2022,” said Coltman, who is training hard to return to full fitness after undergoing surgery on her foot last month.

Twenty-four-year-old Coltman was named on the list alongside Izzy Atkin (freestyle skiing), Charlotte Bankes (snowboarding), James Clugnet (cross-country skiing), Brad Hall (bobsleigh), Gus Kenworthy (freestyle skiing), Team Mouat (curling), Katie Ormerod (snowboarding), Dave Ryding (alpine skiing) and James Woods (freestyle skiing).

Melton-born Coltman made her mark on the sliding bscene early on, crowned the overall Europa Cup (EC) winner in her debut season.

She is now planning to make it four golds in a row for Team GB in the women’s skeleton.

Amy Williams topped the podium at Vancouver 2010 and Lizzy Yarnold claimed gold at both Sochi 2014 and Pyeongchang 2018.
