Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale conquered Livigno at the Winter Olympics, making history for Great Britain in the snowboard cross mixed event.

Britain has a great, new Winter Olympics pairing. Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale won the first gold medal on snow in the island country’s 102-year history at the Winter Games after crossing the line in front Sunday in the wild sport of mixed snowboardcross.

Great Britain celebrated the most successful Winter Olympics campaign in their history on Sunday after winning two more gold medals -- in snowboard cross and skeleton. First on Sunday, Charlotte Bankes and Huw Nightingale teamed up to win the mixed team snowboard cross -- Britain's first-ever gold on snow.

A former Olympian and longtime IOC member, the Princess Royal urged athletes to take pride in reaching the Winter Games.

The gold medal game was set for the next day, Feb. 20. USA’s John Shuster was mired at 2-4 in the standings when his team defeated Canada’s Kevin Koe 9-7. It was this victory that spearheaded an amazing run that is still talked about in curling circles… and it was also a prelude to another CAN-USA battle.

Great Britain's Matt Weston dominated the men's skeleton event on his way to claiming his first Olympic gold medal.
