    Tunisia is celebrating its first ever medal at the Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) thanks to Jonathan Lourimi’s silver in the Men’s Monobob. Despite temperatures of -20C, the atmosphere was red hot as Lourimi’s brilliant performance sparked wild celebrations as he crossed the line to be immediately mobbed by family and friends in the finish area at the Alpensia Sliding Centre. At that moment he was in gold medal position with one slider to go, home favourite So Kaewhan. And even though the Korean came through to deny Lourimi gold, there was no stopping the party.
