    Zion Bethonico has been reflecting on becoming Brazil’s first ever Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) medallist and how having his brother there to share it with him made it even sweeter. At the end of the men’s snowboard cross event on Saturday, one Bethonico stood beaming on the podium, while another looked on with tears streaming down his face. Zion had just made history. Elder brother Noah tried to do so four years ago when he became Brazil’s first YOG snowboarder, and was now toasting his brother’s bronze.
