Charlotte Bankes exited the Beijing Winter Olympics without a medal after finishing fifth in the mixed team snowboard-cross competition with team-mate Huw Nightingale at Genting Snow Park on Saturday.

Belle Brockhoff has been cleared of serious injury after being tobogganed off the course having crashed during the mixed team snowboard cross event at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Sixteen years on from a showboat that would seemingly haunt her for the rest of her career, Lindsey Jacobellis pulled off the ultimate flex in what could well have been her final jump at an Olympics. Jacobellis’ name became synonymous with celebrating too early when she attempted a board grab in the dying moments of the women's snowboard cross big final at Turin 2006, a move which famously cost her gold as she fell in the final straight to gift Switzerland’s Tanja Frieden victory.
Australia's two mixed snowboard cross teams crashed out in the same quarter-final at the Beijing Winter Olympics, with Belle Brockhoff taken to hospital for scans.
Lindsey Jacobellis clinched a second gold of Beijing 2022 after winning the inaugural mixed team snowboard cross with American team-mate Nick Baumgartner. Just three days after winning gold in the women’s cross, 16 years after her Turin heartbreak, Jacobellis was celebrating another victory at the Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou.
Charlotte Bankes displayed her champion quality in the mixed team snowboard cross event but was unable to help Team GB reach the big final at the Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou. Teaming up with Huw Nightingale, Bankes was aiming to bounce back from the disappointment of exiting at the quarter-final stage of the women’s event earlier in the Winter Olympics.
