PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (Reuters) - Ester Ledecka became the first person in Winter Olympic history to win gold medals in both skiing and snowboarding after winning the snowboard parallel giant slalom on Saturday to go with her Alpine skiing super-G gold.
The Czech is only the fifth person to win gold in two different events at the Winter Olympics. Ledecka defeated Germany’s Selina Joerg in the final by 0.46 seconds to claim the gold.
Germany’s Theresia Ramona Hofmeister won the bronze medal race against Sochi bronze medalist Alena Zavarzina to complete the podium.
