In the same season, Weston won five Skeleton World Cup races. His coach from the 2023 season was Latvian skelton legend Martins Dukurs.
His best-placed overall ranking to date is 2nd in the 2022–23 Skeleton World Cup. He competed for Great Britain at the 2022 Winter Olympics in the men's skeleton, finishing in 15th place.[2]
In November 2021, he claimed Great Britain's first World Cup win in almost 14 years after a three-way tie for gold in Igls.[3]
