Their two wins were against the PyeongChang 2018 mixed doubles gold and silver medallists.
- A gold medal for Jakara Anthony in moguls and bronze for Tess Coady in snowboard slopestyle provided the most successful day in Australia's Winter Olympic history. Australia had never won more than one medal in a day of competition. Jakara Anthony's gold made it a total of six Winter Olympics gold medals for Australia.
- Australia's first medal in sliding sports was won by Jaclyn Narracott. She won silver in the women's skeleton event.
