BBC commentator John Hunt expressed disappointment with the camera work by the host broadcaster during the Winter Olympics, where viewers missed the crucial start of Matt Weston’s gold medal-winning mixed team skeleton run. Weston, along with Tabitha Stoecker, secured Britain’s second gold medal of the day by defeating two German teams. However, the audience watching the event live were left frustrated as the camera shifted away from Weston just as he was about to start his run.
Criticism poured in for the camerawork blunder, with Hunt vocalizing his frustration, exclaiming, “Oh, what are they doing, what are they playing at; that’s terrible!” Despite the mishap, Weston delivered an impressive 58.59-second run, making him the first British athlete to claim two gold medals at a Winter Olympics. Stoecker also played a vital role in the victory, expressing her disbelief and gratitude during a joint interview with Weston.
The victory propelled Great Britain to 12th place in the medal standings, with all three recent medals being gold within a span of three days.
