CORTINA D’AMPEZZO, Italy (AP) — Katharina Liensberger has been awarded a second gold medal in the women’s parallel event at the skiing world championships.
There was confusion about the rules in case of a tie.
The Austrian skier and Marta Bassino finished their two-leg final in the same aggregate time. Organizers initially declared the Italian the sole winner, giving the host nation its first medal of the two-week worlds.
French skier Mathieu Faivre edged Filip Zubcic of Croatia for gold in the men’s event.
The bronze medals went to Loic Meillard of Switzerland and Tessa Worley of France.
