31-year-old falls short of gold but is Australia’s most decorated Winter Olympian

Valentino Guseli finishes fifth after crashing twice in Livigno

Never has silver felt so deflating with Australian snowboard great Scotty James falling short in his quest to complete his Olympic medal collection at the Milan-Cortina Games.

Competing at his fifth Olympics, James became Australia’s most decorated winter athlete with three medals, winning another silver after Beijing as well as the bronze he won eight years ago in Pyeongchang.

He was also part of the country’s most successful single day, his second place coming after Josie Baff clinched gold in the snowboard cross earlier in Livigno.
