"Winter Olympic Events"
With 11 days to go until the opening of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, today's "Winter Olympic Events", we want to review the first athlete in history to win gold medals in two different events of the same Winter Olympics, she is Ledetzka.
Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics
Ledetzka was born into a family of ice and snow sports, his grandfather was Czech ice hockey star Jan Clapács, and his mother was a figure skater. Excellent ice and snow genes, so that she is not limited to the development of only one ski project, "double repair" has become the czech girl's life belief.
In the women's super slalom final of alpine skiing at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Ledetzka was not optimistic about the outside world before the competition, and even her mother only set her goal in the top ten. However, when the game began, people found that a miracle was happening in front of them. Ledecka's final time was 1:21.11, just one hundredth of a second faster than Anna Weiss, who won the title and is known as the "Snow Princess of Austria". It was the first Winter Olympic gold medal in alpine skiing in the Czech Republic, and it was a "Cinderella" who completed this feat.
A week later, in the snowboard parallel giant slalom final, Ledetzka won the gold medal without suspense in his area of expertise. At this moment, the unprecedented "cross-item double crown" was done by her.
There is no doubt that at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, Ledetzka will still be one of the star athletes worth paying attention to.
