Mia Brookes had no regrets about trying an historic trick that cost her an Olympic medal after finishing fourth in the women’s snowboard slopestyle final at the Livigno Snow Park.

Starting her final run in third place, Brookes went for a backside 1620 – a trick she had never previously attempted on snow – in a last-gasp bid to force her way to the top of the podium.
