“It’s been an outstanding Games and the athletes need and deserve the support,” said UK Sport chief Liz Nicholl.
“I can’t say what the investment will be from sport-to-sport as we’ll discuss that with them over the coming weeks and months, but I am anticipating more investment in winter sport.”
Lizzy Yarnold continued Britain’s proud tradition of winning a medal at each Olympics in which the sport of skeleton has featured by claiming gold in Russia.
The men’s curling team took silver and the women bronze, while snowboarder Jenny Jones finished third in slopestyle’s Olympic debut.
Great Britain finished 19th in the medal table, but the plan – based on the sort of “no compromise” funding policy applied to summer sports post-2006 – is to be higher in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in four years.
“We’re anticipating building on it and will be going for more medals in 2018,” said Nicholl.
“The success has shown that the approach we have taken to athletes, and supporting sports with medal prospects, is working.
