Boarder Takes Gold In Olympic Ski & Snowboarding Contests
Login
The Czech snowboarder who shocked the world by winning gold in the Women's Super G Alpine skiing event at the Olympics last weekend using skis borrowed from US star Mikaela Shiffrin has gone on to win her own event, snowboarding parallel slalom, earlier today.
Ester Ledecka has made history by winning gold in both skiing and snowboarding disciplines, as well as for doing so in a single Olympics.
The 22-year-old beat Germany's Selina Joerg to win her second gold.
According to the BBC Ledecka is the fifth athlete to win in two sports at one Games but the first in what are described as "unrelated events" with the previous double wins coming in Nordic events.
