Super Sunday? More like Golden Sunday. From the sunlit snowboard slopes to the floodlit ice track, Great Britain delivered a one-two punch that will live long in Winter Olympic folklore. In the space of a few hours, two British duos – Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale, then Tabitha Stoecker and Matt Weston – turned near-misses and nerves into history-making golds.
Bankes and Nightingale stunned the field to win the mixed team snowboard cross, capturing the first gold medal on snow in the nation’s 102-year history at the Winter Games. In the wild, elbows-out chaos of the event, the British duo seized a title few predicted was coming.
