Ester Ledecka, the first ever athlete to compete in both skiing and snowboarding at the Olympics


"Ester Ledecka, the world champion snowboarder from the Czech Republic, delivered one of the biggest upsets in Winter Olympics history on Saturday afternoon, coming out of nowhere to win the women’s super-G by the slimmest of margins"

"But Ledecka, racing out of the 26th position on skis borrowed from American star Mikaela Shiffrin, completed a career-best run to snatch the gold from the the two-time overall World Cup champion. The look of confusion that washed across the 22-year-old Czech’s face as she looked up at her winning time will endure as one of these Olympics’ most memorable images."
