GREAT BRITAIN will send its most talented squad yet to the Winter Olympics, one that can “make history once again,” chef de mission Mike Hay claimed today.

Team GB will have 59 athletes competing in South Korea, the largest squad the British Olympic Association has sent to a Winter Games.

UK Sport has set a target of at least five medals, which would surpass the previous best haul of four medals achieved in Chamonix in 1924 and in Sochi four years ago.
