Ester Ledecka Wins Women's Snowboarding PGS Gold Medal at Olympics 2022

Ester Ledecka of the Czech Republic defeated Austria's Daniela Ulbing in the final of the women's snowboarding parallel giant slalom to win the gold medal at the 2022 Winter Olympics on Tuesday.

Ledecka, who also won the event at the 2018 Games, posted the best time by over two seconds in qualifying and then took advantage of mistakes, as none of her four opponents in the elimination round were able to finish the Genting Snow Park course.

Slovenia's Gloria Kotnik beat out the Netherlands' Michelle Dekker in the third-place race to capture the bronze medal.
