Britain's Marcus Wyatt was crowned European champion in the men's skeleton competition in Sigulda, Latvia.
The 32-year-old finished second in Friday's World Cup race, making him the top European athlete with a total time of 1 minute 41 seconds.
2023 winner Matt Weston finished second in the European rankings, 0.16 seconds behind fellow Briton Wyatt.
“I'm absolutely over the moon. It hasn't really hit me yet to be able to call myself European champion,” Wyatt said.
Further success for Great Britain came later in the day as Amelia Coltman won European bronze in women's skeleton.
Wyatt, who finished third in the World Cup standings last season and fourth at the European Championships, finished 31st last week in Lillehammer, Norway.
“It's a dream come true and for Matt to remain on the UK program after winning last year is special,” Wyatt said.
“I had a really good week of training and going into the race I knew I had a chance to do well, but it's great to be able to pull it off and finish as European champion.
“Last week was a real shock. It took a turn for me and I ended up in 31st place, the worst result of my career. Last week I might as well have never gotten out of bed, but I’m glad I woke up today. There's not much better than going from 31st in one week to European champion the next. ”
Great Britain had waited 15 years for a men's champion until Weston won at Altenberg 12 months ago, but they have now won twice in as many seasons.
Wyatt is the third British man to win the title, after Weston and Kristan Bromley (2004, 2005, 2008), and only the third woman to win the title, Lizzie Yarnold (2015) and Shelley Rudman (2009, 2011). ) was the winner.
