LONDON, Jan. 9 -- British athletes are targeting their most successful ever Olympic Winter Games when PyeongChang 2018 begins next month, UK Sport announced here on Tuesday.
British (Team GB) athletes aim at winning at least five medals, which would surpass the four won at Sochi 2017 and Chamonix 1924.
The prediction foresees medals being potentially won in skiing, snowboarding, curling and short track speed skating, with Britain also competitive in several other sports.
Chef de Mission Mike Hay will be looking for more than just medals, with the former curler and coach keen to see British bests recorded in South Korea.
"The target of a best ever Olympic Winter Games is indicative of just how far the athletes and their National Governing Bodies have progressed over the past four years," he told the official website of the British Olympic Committee.
"For Team GB it is about more than just the medals, our best ever Games will also be determined by those athletes who record personal best performances in their sports."
Sochi 2017 saw Britain's first ever medal won on snow and with multiple World Cup and World Championship medallists set to make the squad this time around, Jenny Jones' snowboarding bronze could be added to in PyeongChang.
And with triple short track speed skating world champion Elise Christie and reigning Olympic skeleton champion Lizzy Yarnold also set to compete, Britain will possess genuine medal potential in an array of sports.
