GB's Fear and Gibson miss out on figure skating medal

Lilah Fear said she could not believe the "costly and devastating" error she made which meant she and partner Lewis Gibson missed out on the ice dance medals at Milan-Cortina 2026.

Fear and Gibson finished seventh overall, meaning they failed to reach their goal of being the first British figure skaters in 32 years to win an Olympic medal.

Fear tripped on the second element of their free-dance routine, and despite skating cleanly for the remainder it proved too much of an obstacle to overcome.

It means the wait goes on for British skating since Dame Jayne Torvill and Sir Christopher Dean won bronze at the Lillehammer Games in 1994.
