Bankes and Nightingale make British snow history

Despite competing at every edition of the Olympic Winter Games, Great Britain had never won a medal on snow heading into Milano Cortina 2026. But Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale changed that in the snowboard cross mixed team event, racing to a landmark gold with Bankes, rebounding from a quarter-final exit in the women’s race days earlier, producing a sensational overtake on her leg to turn the final Britain’s way.
