GB and the Winter Olympics

Team Great Britain don't have the best of records in the Winter Olympics as we are not really regarded as a set of winter nations.
In total team GB have competed in 21 Winter Olympics and we have won a total of 22 medals in those games, we didn't win any medals at all in the games of 1932, 1956, 1960, 1968, 1972 & 1988, and our most successful haul of medals was in the first winter games we competed in.
That was back in 1924 when the games were held in Chamonix in France, Team GB managed to win medals that day.
Below is a list of all medals won and by whom and in which discipline
