Snowboarding: Ester Ledecka Won Her Second Gold Medal at 2018 Winter Olympics

Ester Ledecka, who previously gained gold in Super-G alpine skiing, won her second Olympic gold by winning women’s parallel giant slalom. She became the first athlete to win events in both alpine skiing and snowboarding at the same Olympic Winter Games.

Ester commented her wins in both disciplines: “Do whatever you want. If you want to choose just one, then choose just one. I wanted to choose both and a lot of people told me that it's not possible to get to the top in both. Obviously, it's not easy. It's a great thing that I can be here in both sports and enjoy both sports here in [the Republic of] Korea. My plan is to stay with my heart, so for now, I think I will do both because I love both and I love to do this”.

German snowboarders Selina Joerg and Ramona Theresia Hofmeister won silver and bronze medals correspondingly.
