[1] Hannah Neise of Germany became the Olympic champion. Jaclyn Narracott of Australia won silver, and Kimberley Bos of the Netherlands bronze. [2] [3] For all of them these were their first Olympic medals, moreover, Narracott's and Bos's medals were the first Olympic medals in skeleton for Australia and the Netherlands. Bos's bronze was the first medal for the Netherlands in an ice sport that doesn't involve any type of skating.

Because Christopher Grotheer won gold in the men's skeleton, Neise's gold meant that Germany swept the golds in Skeleton at these Olympics. This was also first time in history of women's skeleton at the Olympics that no British athlete won a medal. A British woman had previously won a medal at every women's skeleton Olympic competition since it was introduced in 2002.
