Australia's Olympic delegation bathed in pride on Sunday as the country hailed a record Winter Games medal haul for their team and an unlikely hero in skeleton racer Jackie Narracott.
Marco Odermatt fulfilled his billing as favourite for giant slalom gold at the Winter Olympics as he shrugged off extremely challenging conditions to win the title in Beijing. Heavy snow and poor visibility caused havoc, with several contenders for the medals struggling to deal with the weather, but the Swiss sensation kept his cool to win ahead of Slovenia's Zan Kranjec and Mathieu Faivre of France.

Through a skeleton career almost derailed by a lack of funding and a severe concussion, Jackie Narracott has found a way to win Australia’s most unlikely Olympic medal.
2021 world champion Kaillie Humphries set the pace in the first two heats of the monobob at the Yanqing National Sliding Centre. The US athlete — a two-time two-woman Olympic champion — set a combined time of 2:09:10 to lead after the first two heats of the newly-inaugurated discipline. Ad/> Canada’s Christine de Bruin is in second, just over a second back with a combined time of 2:10.14, and Germany’s 2016 Winter Youth Olympic Games monobob gold medallist Laura Nolte is in bronze medal position with a time of 2:10.32.
Breeana Walker is in striking distance of Australia’s fifth medal of the Beijing Winter Olympics after an improved second run in the monobob event.
Sitting in the press conference, her smile obvious despite being hidden by the ubiquitous mask, it was impossible not to be carried away with the sheer joy Jaclyn Narracott exuded with every answer, every glance at the medal hanging around her neck.
