PYEONGCHANG: Ester Ledecka completed a historic Olympic double on Saturday when the Czech star romped to snowboarding parallel giant slalom gold to add to her shock super-G title in alpine skiing. The Czech Republic's Ester Ledecka is the first woman to win gold in two different sports at the Winter Olympics. "Today was a big day for snowboard Ester! Ledecka now joins Norwegians Thorleif Haug and Johan Groettumsbraten as the only athletes to do a multi-sport double in the same Olympics. I've heard of people competing in summer and winter Olympics, but never in two sports in one Olympics," said the silver medallist.
