Australian skeleton racer Jaclyn Narracott was reunited with her family at Brisbane Airport on Tuesday.
Ms Narracott's family were ready with balloons and flowers to welcome her back in the arrival's area.
The 31-year-old Queenslander came second in the women's skeleton final at the Yanqing National Sliding Centre on Saturday night.
Australia had never before medalled in any of the sliding events at a Winter Olympics and doesn't even have any training facilities, with Narracott based in England and having to prepare in Europe and Korea.
It brings Australia's medal tally in Beijing to four - one gold, two silvers and a bronze - bettering the overall haul of three medals won at the last three Olympics.
