British Skeleton was formed by a group of athletes in 1989 when it was known as the British Bob Skeleton Association.

From it’s early beginnings it has grown into the most successful Winter sport in Great Britain, winning medals at all three Olympic Winter Games since the sport was re-introduced into the Olympic programme in 2002.

British Skeleton, as it is now known, is the Governing Body for the Sport in Great Britain and is tasked with managing the sport across all levels and all abilities.

At the head of the organisation sits a committee who delegate the day to day management of the Association to the Performance Director and his team which includes Ice & S&C Coaches, Physio, R&D technicians and administrative staff.
