Day 10 of Milano Cortina wrapped up with no new medals for Australia, but there was still plenty of action overnight.
Australia’s Josie Baff narrowly missed out on a another Winter Olympic gold medal after a crash in the mixed snowboard cross final quashed medal hopes. Baff and her teammate Adam Lambert had advanced to the showdown of four partners, but Lambert collided with Italian Lorenzo Sommariva on the last turn.
The crash left Lambert far behind the leaders, and Baff was unable to make up the gap in her leg, ending their campaign just short of a podium finish.
Aussie monobob pilot Bree Walker was in gold medal contention, even occupying the number one spot following one of her heats. Despite, strong and relentless efforts, Walker missed out on an Olympic podium finish, leaving her devastate but proud of her performance on the world stage.

The nights big aerial spectacle was won by international competitors, although Australia’s dominance in winter sports continues to grow and underscores a historic rise for the team.
