Winter Olympics live: Mouat and Dodds set for curling semi-final after Muir misses out on GB’s first medal

Here’s the crew who evacuated Lindsey Vonn speaking on the difficulties of mountain rescue operations:

Mia Brookes - snowboarding

19-year-old snowboarder Mia Brookes is another British favourite for a gold medal at the Games. She is making her Olympic debut in Milano-Cortina but is already a world champion and World Cup winner, having won the overall World Cup crystal globe last season alongside a second big air title.

She became the youngest world champion in snowboarding history with slopestyle gold in Georgia in 2023, simultaneously becoming GB’s first-ever world champion in the event, and is on top form heading to Italy having won X Games gold in slopestyle and bronze in Big Air this weekend. She will compete in both slopestyle and big air, with the potential for two medals at her maiden Games.

Brookes qualified third in the snowboard Big Air, demonstrating extraordinary grit and confidence to record the second-highest score of the night on her second run after falling at her first attempt.

With each athlete’s top two out of three runs counting, she needed to land safely on her third run and a score of 78.00 was enough to guarantee safe passage to the final.

“That was insane, honestly,” she said afterwards. “I loved it. Every minute was awesome, but definitely quite scary. After that first run, I was so nervous. You just have to take your time at the top, not rush into anything.”

The final will take place from 6.30pm this evening.

Great Britain’s Kirsty Muir was denied by a bronze medal in freeski slopestyle by a mere four-tenths of a point, with the Scot in tears after the result.

Switzerland’s Mathilde Gremaud won gold - to the delight of a large Swiss contingent in Livigno - with China’s Eileen Gu and Canada’s Megan Oldham rounding out the podium.

21-year-old Muir looked excellent on the first half of her first run, the three sections of rails, but came unstuck on her penultimate jump - a double cork 1080 - and only scored 37.15, putting her in provisional 10th.

Lindsey Vonn suffered a horror crash at the Winter Olympics to scupper her hopes of an age-defying comeback at Milano-Cortina 2026.

But Italian ski great Alberto Tomba insists her downfall on the slopes came after a move to race at Crans-Montana last month.

The American has been criticised over her desire to win one more race, with Tomba insisting it led to a chain of risks that eventually caught up with her in the form of a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament on her left knee.

American skiing legend Lindsey Vonn is “stable” and has undergone surgery on a leg fracture after crashing hard in the Winter Olympics downhill event, nine days after rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

The 41-year-old was the 13th of 36 racers to take to the Olympia delle Tofane course in Cortina d’Ampezzo, where she has won a record 12 World Cups.

But she crashed hard in the top section of the course at approximately 60mph after overshooting a turn and catching her shoulder on the fourth gate, having already picked up significant speed. That set her off balance, with her injured left leg – which has no functioning ACL – giving way.

British freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy has spoken out about the “awful” abuse and vitriol he has received since posting a photo about his stance on the United States’ immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) policy.

In a post on his Instagram account, Kenworthy – who was born in Chelmsford but has lived in the US for most of his life – expressed his views on ICE with a graphic message in the snow and posted it online.

The 34-year-old has since released a video post explaining his reasoning behind the message and how he has been sent “insane” responses for speaking out against ICE.

Britain’s Kirsty Muir struggles to hold back the tears as she digests her fourth-placed finish in the women’s slopestyle final.

“I’ll be proud of myself in a minute, I’m just in a bit of a hole at the moment but I’ll get out of there. I’ve still got the big air to come.”

Mathilde Gremaud receives her gold medal as the Swiss flag is raised, and she bursts into tears. China’s Eileen Gu and Canada’s Megan Oldham are there to console and embrace the champion.
