Day seven of the Winter Olympics fell on Friday 13th but far from being unlucky, it was the day Team GB’s medal curse finally lifted, as Matt Weston won the nation’s 13th-ever Winter Olympic gold.
Morale has dropped after a series of near misses at this Games, including three fourth-places – one by a fraction of a point – and the day started off badly as Charlotte Bankes fell victim to her own curse, that of the Olympic quarter-final, once again.
