today at the games: Musgrave Makes History

Andrew Musgrave produced a statement performance to finish sixth, the best-ever British Cross Country result at a Winter Olympic Games.

The five-time Olympian showcased all of his experience, composure and tactical intelligence to deliver a career-defining race on the Olympic stage. In a discipline dominated by traditional powerhouses, Musgrave’s sixth place finish marks a landmark moment for British Cross Country Skiing.

It was a historic performance and one that further cements his legacy as one of Britain’s greatest winter athletes.

Joe Davies delivered a huge performance of his own, finishing 12th in what has been an outstanding Olympic debut. Racing fearlessly, Davies proved he belongs at this level, producing a result that signals an exciting future on the world stage.

James Clugnet also produced a strong display, crossing the line in 34th place. Clugnet added further depth to an exceptional day for the team, with three British athletes delivering performances to be proud of.

Bankes to Quarter Finals in Snowboard Cross

Charlotte Bankes once again left everything out on the course in the Women’s Snowboard Cross as she has done throughout the past four years. Bankes raced with commitment and intensity, but fell on the wrong side of the tight margins that define the head-to-head heats, exiting in the quarterfinals.

Despite the disappointment, there is nothing but pride for the Team GB legend, who will return to competition alongside Huw Nightingale in Sunday’s Mixed Team Snowboard Cross event.
