LONDON (Reuters) - British athletes could take a best-ever tally of seven medals at next month's Beijing Winter Olympics with the potential for more at the Paralympics, UK Sport said on Thursday.

Team GB took five medals -- a skeleton gold and four bronzes from skeleton, freestyle skiing and snowboarding -- at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, a haul that ranked the country 19th in the overall table.
