The UK has re-entered the global top 10 of the WorldSkills medal rankings following its “phenomenal” performance at the WorldSkills 2022 special edition competition.
Team UK brought home gold medals in cabinet making and aircraft maintenance, and a clutch of bronze medals in car painting, jewellery and Industry 4.0. These were complemented by 12 medallions for excellence.
That success totalled 26 medal points for Team UK, landing a 10th place position on the global medal table, up two places from the last WorldSkills competition in 2019. Hot on the UK’s heels was India, which was just one medal point behind.
Topping the table this year was China, which also scored the top spot in 2019, with a medal point score of 106. Korea came in second place, Chinese Taipei in third and Japan in fourth.
