Nothing glistens quite as brightly as gold at an Olympic Winter Games. And for Germany's Johannes Ludwig, that gold was extra special as he capped an incredible season in which he had also topped the standings in the Wrld Cup season. At 35 years old, Ludwig is no novice on the international luge circuit. However, his Olympic victory must rank as the highlight of a brilliant career that has also included bronze at PyeongChang 2018.
It was redemption at last for Lindsey Jacobellis. The Team USA star arrived at her fifth Olympic Games determined to pick up her first gold medal, and she did just that. The 36-year-old, who is the most decorated snowboard cross athlete of all time, led from the front and can now call herself Olympic champion, 16 years after her first appearance at the Games.
Fourth, bronze and silver - those were the finishing positions of Sweden's men's curling skip Niklas Edin during his previous Olympic Winter Games appearances.

Zoi Sadowski-Synnott made history for New Zealand in the women’s snowboard slopestyle finals at the Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou.

The efforts of Skipper Bruce Mouat, Hammy McMillan, Bobby Lammie, Grant Hardie and alternate Ross Whyte were even recognised by the Queen, who said in a tweet that they should be 'incredibly proud' of their achievement.
The Olympic flame has been extinguished in Beijing, with fireworks filling the evening sky, marking the end of the most locked-down games in history.
