Eve Muirhead and her rink jump for joy after winning Winter Olympic gold

Great Britain have ended the Beijing Winter Olympics with two medals - a gold and a silver in women's and men's curling.

The medal haul was short of the five won at the previous two Games but there were a number of near misses as well, with three top-six finishes.

Check out the information below to see how each member of Team GB performed in China.

Alpine skiing

Britain are still searching for a first alpine skiing medal, with slalom specialist Alain Baxter's bronze at Salt Lake City in 2002 rescinded after he failed a drugs test. Dave Ryding finished 13th in the slalom in Beijing.

Bobsleigh

Britain have won five bobsleigh medals - four bronzes in four-man, and a gold for the 1964 two-man crew of Robin Dixon and Tony Nash. The 2014 bronze medal was awarded to Team GB in 2019 after two Russian crews were disqualified for doping. In Beijing the four-man just missed out on the podium, finishing sixth.

Figure skating

Britain's most successful winter sport with 15 medals - including the seven won when ice skating was featured in the summer Olympics in the early part of the 20th century. From 1976 to 1984, Britain won gold medals in three successive Games with John Curry, Robin Cousins and Torvill and Dean. The ice dance pair then returned a decade later to take bronze in Lillehammer, Norway - which was the last time Britain won a medal in figure skating. Lilah Fear and Lewis Gibson showed their potential for 2026 by finishing 10th here.

Freestyle skiing

Izzy Atkin wrote herself into the history books at Pyeongchang in 2018 by becoming the first Briton to win a Winter Olympic ski medal when she took bronze in ski slopestyle. Sadly, she was unable to compete in Beijing and, although no medals were won, there were a number of notable achievements including 17-year-old Kirsty Muir's fifth in ski big air.

Skeleton

Until this year, Great Britain had won a skeleton medal every time the sport had been included in the Olympics - which equates to nine in seven Games. In 2018, Lizzy Yarnold became the first Briton to retain an Olympic title after also triumphing in Sochi four years earlier. Beijing was a Games to forget for the GB team, who struggled at the Yanqing Sliding Centre.

Snowboarding

Great Britain had never won a Winter Olympic medal in a snow event - until Jenny Jones' bronze medal in slopestyle at the 2014 Games. Four years later, Billy Morgan became the first British man to achieve the feat when he claimed bronze in big air. Charlotte Bankes was favourite to win snowboard cross but was beaten in the quarter-final.
