Bronze medal for Michela Moioli in the women's snowboard cross final: the Italian finished the final behind the Australian Baff and the Czech Adamczykova .

Italy takes home its 18th medal from a triumphant edition so far: 6 gold, 3 silver, and 9 bronze . The record set in Lillehammer '94—20 medals and 7 gold—is ever closer with 10 days of competition still to go.

The snowboarder from Bergamo, who already won Olympic gold in 2018, staged a sensational comeback in the semifinals . After a poor start, she closed a large gap and outclassed all her opponents, earning her a spot in the four-man final. Again, a less-than-optimal start and a comeback in the final stretch allowed her to reach the podium .
