British skeleton athlete Marcus Weston triumphed in the Olympics, significantly aided by the sledges manufactured in Liepāja, Latvia. Fellow athlete Martins Dukurs emphasized that skeleton racing relies on three critical components: the initial run, the race itself, and the technique involved. The sledges and the equipment's construction are pivotal, highlighting the meticulous choice of materials and design specifics in achieving optimal performance. After the victory, Dukurs expressed gratitude to the sled manufacturers, echoing sentiments in Latvian, "Thank you, Liepāja!", underscoring the collaboration that has been ongoing since 2010 with the company "Metālmeistars".

The partnership with "Metālmeistars" has proven fruitful, not only for the British team but also for Austria and Latvia's participants in the Winter Olympics. Dukurs noted that there are increasing inquiries from other nations eager to collaborate, pointing to a promising future for the company as it seeks to expand its reach in the sport of skeleton. The success of the athletes using these high-quality sledges is a testament to the skill and dedication of everyone involved in their production, which includes technical solutions that fulfill international standards. This collaboration and success story may enhance the visibility of Latvian manufacturing on the global sporting stage.
