A British Medal Haul: The Unlikely Trio of Team GB's Winter Olympics Champions
In a mountainous Italian valley, the whispers of "Magic Monday" have begun to circulate, suggesting that Team GB might just pull off an unprecedented hat-trick of Olympic medals in one day. While it may seem like a long shot, it's not entirely impossible.
On Sunday evening, Mia Brookes, the 19-year-old snowboarding sensation, made headlines with her remarkable comeback story. Down by several spots after an initial disappointing run, she managed to revive her hopes thanks to some heavy metal motivation - literally. The young athlete drew on music icons like Metallica and Judas Priest to calm her nerves and push through to a top-three finish in the Big Air event.
This thrilling performance is set to be followed by a mixed curling semi-final for Team GB's Bruce Mouat and Jen Dodds, who are currently odds-on favorites to claim their first Olympic medal. The pair has been on an unbeaten streak so far, with their only loss coming against Switzerland in the group stages.
Another British competitor, 21-year-old Kirsty Muir, is poised to take on the freestyle skiing slopestyle event. Having qualified third and secured a top-three spot in her qualifying round, she's now third in the bookies' odds for gold behind Mathilde Gremaud of Switzerland and Chinese star Eileen Gu.
Although three Team GB medals might seem like a tall order, it's hard to rule out this possibility altogether. With some incredibly talented athletes on the team, who knows what Tuesday will bring?
