Women	Men

The women's skeleton competition at the 2014 Winter Olympics took place from February 13-14 , 2014 at the Sanki Sliding Center . 20 athletes from 12 different nations started.

The Olympic champion was Elizabeth Yarnold from Britain , who set a track record in both the first and the third run. With a deficit of 0.97 seconds, the American Noelle Pikus-Pace landed on silver. Bronze went to Jelena Nikitina from Russia.

The International Olympic Committee disqualified the end of 2016, the bronze medalist Yelena Nikitina, the fifth-placed Olga Potylizyna and the sixth-place finisher Maria Orlova basis of the findings of the McLaren reports on systematic doping in Russia. In February 2018, the International Sports Court overturned the judgments due to insufficient evidence.
