LIVIGNO: Great Britain (GB) celebrated the most successful Winter Olympics campaign in their history on Sunday after winning two more gold medals &#8212; in snowboard cross and skeleton.
Team GB had never previously won more than one gold at a single Winter Games but they have three already in Italy.
First on Sunday, Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale teamed up to win the mixed team snowboard cross &#8212; Britain&#8217;s first-ever gold on snow.
Then Matt Weston and Tabitha Stoecker won the mixed-team skeleton event to add to Weston&#8217;s victory in the men&#8217;s event on Friday.
Britain, bereft of towering mountains and with little snow, had only ever won 12 gold medals in the Winter Olympics in total before the Milan-Cortina Games.
&#8220;It&#8217;s fine margins. Even for us individuals, it&#8217;s really fine margins,&#8221; said Bankes. &#8220;To actually pull it off, that&#8217;s what I&#8217;m proud of, to be able to do it in a team event.
&#8220;It&#8217;s Team GB that&#8217;s Olympic champion, and that&#8217;s for all the support we get.&#8221;
Nightingale said: &#8220;You do it for your nation, your country, the fans, the support. Thanks to everyone. It&#8217;s still unreal. I&#8217;m sure I won&#8217;t sleep very well tonight.&#8221;
