BBC missed Matt Weston’s gold-medal start in skeleton relay, sparking backlash.
The BBC apologized for a major broadcast error during the 2026 Winter Olympics, missing the critical start of Matt Weston’s decisive run in the mixed team skeleton relay as he prepared to push off for gold.
Despite the Olympic Broadcasting Services feed providing the footage, the main screen cut to Weston’s coach just as the red light signaled his launch, obscuring the moment.
Commentator John Hunt called the mistake “terrible” and apologized live, prompting fan frustration online, with many comparing it to missing a race start in Formula 1.
While some praised the emotional replay of Weston’s victory, others labeled it the worst blunder of the Games.
