Australia's Josie Baff's Olympic 'worst nightmare' comes true as her teammate's crash costs them a second gold medal in the mixed snowboard cross event. But here's where it gets controversial... The snowboard cross mixed event is effectively a relay, and the women's competitor leaves the start gate based on the margin their male partner finished behind the leader. While Baff made up plenty of ground in her leg, the Australian pair finished last out of the four teams. It was a tough pill to swallow with the realization that if Lambert had stayed on his feet, Baff could have gotten them a medal and quite possibly a gold. And this is the part most people miss... The 23-year-old won the women's snowboard cross earlier in the Games and was looking to join Jakara Anthony as the second Australian to win two Winter Olympic gold medals. Despite the disappointment, the Australian team still had a successful day as flag-bearer Matt Graham won the bronze medal in the men's dual moguls. But is this the end of the road for Baff? Or can she bounce back and win another medal? The answer lies in the unpredictable nature of boardercross racing, where anything can happen. So, what do you think? Will Baff be able to overcome this setback and win another medal? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
