Winter Olympics live: Mia Brookes edged out for big air medal after Kirsty Muir misery

Great Britain’s Kirsty Muir just missed out on a medal in the women's freeski slopestyle final as Switzerland’s Mathilde Gremaud retained her Olympic title and China’s Eileen Gu took silver.

Muir was one of two big medal hopes for Team GB on Monday, with Mia Brookes going later in the women's snowboard big air final after overcoming a nervy start in qualifying. Britain had never won a snowsport gold medal but the wait will have to go on, with Brookes being edged off the podium on the final run by New Zealand’s Zoi Sadowski Synnott, who took silver, in agonising fashion. Japan’s Koko Murase claimed gold while South Korean teenager Yu Seungeun bagged bronze.
