Ester Ledecka has become the first person in Winter Olympic history to win gold medals in both skiing and snowboarding after winning the snowboard parallel giant slalom 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 medallist Alena Zavarzina to complete the podium.
Ledecka dominated from the outset, setting the fastest time in qualifying and handling the pressure to win a historic double gold in Pyeongchang.
The two-time world champion’s achievement is the first athlete to win golds in two unrelated disciplines.
The four others to win two different events competed in similar Nordic events.
Switzerland’s Nevin Galmarini has meanwhile held off the challenge of South Korea’s Lee Sang-ho to win gold in the men’s snowboard parallel giant slalom.
Galmarini won by 0.43 seconds from local favourite Lee, who claimed his country’s first ever snowboarding medal.
Slovenia’s Zan Kosir won the bronze, defeating Sylvain Dufour of France in the small final.
