Medals update: Ryan Regez wins gold as Swiss athletes go 1-2 in men's ski-cross final

Ryan Regez has won a brilliant gold medal in the freestyle skiing men's ski cross final, beating compatriot Alex Fiva to the line as Swiss athletes took the top two spots on the podium.

The 29-year-old is competing in the Winter Olympics for the first time and capped a spectacular debut with a gold-winning run.

Following him closely to the line was teammate Fiva, the reigning world champion and oldest competitor in the event at 36. Third place went to ROC's Sergey Ridzik, who doubled up on the bronze he won four years ago in PyeongChang.

Earlier in the day, the semi-finals served up a real upset as reigning Olympic champion Brady Leman of Canada bowed out of the competition after finishing last.

It opened the door for another Swiss gold medal at Beijing 2022 - their seventh of the Games - as Regez claimed victory and the title of Olympic champion.
