The men's competition in skeleton at the 2026 Winter Olympics was held on 12 February (runs 1 and 2) and 13 February (runs 3 and 4), at the Cortina Sliding Centre in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Matt Weston of Great Britain won the event, setting a new track record in every run. This was his first Olympic medal. Axel Jungk of Germany won the silver medal, replicating his 2022 performance. His teammate Christopher Grotheer, the defending champion, won bronze. Weston became the third British athlete to win an Olympic title in skeleton after Lizzy Yarnold and Amy Williams and the first male British skeleton athlete to do so. Weston also became the first male British athlete in any winter sport to win an Olympic gold medal in an individual Olympic competition since figure skater Robin Cousins did so in 1980.
