Charlotte Bankes, from Hemel Hempstead, and Huw Nightingale claimed Team GB’s second gold medal today (Sunday, February 15) in the Olympic Winter Games Milano 2026.
They won in the mixed team snowboard cross event at Livigno Snow Park.
After heartbreak in their individual events, the British pair made amends with an astonishing performance to add Olympic gold to the World Championship title they won in 2023.
Bankes was described as: “stunned” by the BBC as she crossed the finish line, coming to a stop at the barriers.
Nightingale hugged her before sprinting over to the Team GB coaches who were waiting in the wings to congratulate their champions.
