Petra Vlhova added an Olympic gold medal to her growing list of achievements, winning the women’s slalom at the Beijing Games on Wednesday.

It was Slovakia’s first Olympic medal in Alpine skiing and helped Vlhova atone for her poor performance in Monday’s giant slalom.

The six-time World Championships medallist, one of the favourites for this event alongside her great rival, Team USA’s Mikaela Shiffrin, beat Austria’s Katharina Liensberger who snagged silver and Switzerland’s Wendy Holdener who claimed bronze.
