Team GB struck double gold on a historic Day 9 at Milano Cortina 2026.
In the space of just five hours, records tumbled from the Alps to the Dolomites on a Super Sunday for Team GB.
Britain had never won more than one gold at a single Games before. Now they have three in the space of 48 hours.
Bankes and Nightingale soar on snow
It has taken 102 years but Great Britain finally have a Winter Olympic gold medal on snow.
Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale clinched gold with a thrilling victory in the mixed snowboard cross final and their win sparked après-ski celebrations that rumbled long into the night.
“It was all about gold. That was the only medal I wanted,” said Bankes, who exited in the quarter finals of her individual event four years ago and again here despite being among the favourites.
“I always compete on instinct but I had to go for it. That is the only way I know how to race. I was determined not to have anyone in front of me when I crossed that line.
“It is an immense relief. We have finally made it. Olympic champions sounds amazing. I think you will need to keep saying it for me to believe it."
Mixed team skeleton gold seals history
Matt Weston combined with Tabitha Stoecker to become the first British athlete to win two golds at the same Winter Games, with victory in the mixed team skeleton.
The pressure was on as Stoecker looked to bounce back from a fifth place finish in the women's individual event and put down a time of 1:00.77 to sit 0.18 behind the leaders.
But the gap did not worry Weston, who immediately turned red to green and laid down a roaring time of 58.59 to overtake Axel Jungk and Susanne Kreher and soar to his second gold of the Games.
"I took a lot of confidence from my individual event, I just had to get the job done and we've done it again," beamed Weston.
"To win two Olympic golds at the same Games is just a dream. We knew we had the chance but it was another thing actually doing it."
In winning gold, the duo bumped compatriots Freya Tarbit and Marcus Wyatt out of the medals into fourth after they had earlier produced brilliant runs of their own.
Curlers continue their campaigns
Bruce Mouat admitted there was work to do after his world champion curling rink slipped to their second defeat.
Mouat was all smiles after a confident 9-4 win over Germany in the morning, but less so after losing 6-5 in an extra end to unbeaten Switzerland.
The loss leaves Mouat with a record of four wins from six matches, sitting joint third alongside the United States in the provisional standings.
Rebecca Morrison's rink saw a 10-7 loss to Sweden leave them seventh in the rankings with one win from four.
Nicoll makes long-awaited Olympic debut in the sled
Adele Nicoll admitted her legs ‘felt like jelly’ at the top of the Cortina Sliding Centre but when the heat was on, she held firm on her Olympic debut.
The 29-year-old is 13th at the halfway stage of the women’s monobob competition, becoming Team GB’s first-ever Olympic monobob athlete in the process.
And the special moment at the top of her first of two runs on Sunday caught the back of her throat.
“I think that I was more nervous than maybe I'd realised for the first run and I felt a little bit like jelly on the blocks,” she said.
“Standing on the block today and seeing the Milano Cortina Olympic rings was really surreal and actually emotional."
Elsewhere, Anastasia Vaipan-Law and Luke Digby cruised into the pairs free skate with an incredible season's best skate.
Their score of 66.07 was not far off their own career best, and saw them place ninth for tomorrow's finals.
Ellia Smeding finished 25th in the women's 500m speed skating, with a time of 38.93s, while Chris McCormick clocked a best run of 70.00 to finish 21st in the men's freeski big air qualification and won't progress to the final.
Mia Brookes was 16th and Maisie Hill 21st in the women's slopestyle qualifying, Txema Mazet-Brown finished 27th in the men's event, with all three missing out on finals.
