  • Ledecká Takes First Alpine Skiing World Cup Victory
    Ledecká takes first alpine skiing World Cup victory Czech snowboard specialist beats odds to win on skis in Lake Louise downhill. A shock Super-G Olympic champion in Pyeongchang in 2018, Ester Ledecká proved she's far more than a one-hit wonder when she dominated the first downhill of the 2019-2020 FIS Alpine Ski World Cup in Lake Louise, Canada on Friday. The Czech snowboard specialist made the best of the tricky weather conditions to win ahead of the last two world championship downhill silver medallists, Corinne Suter of Switzerland and Austria’s Stephanie Venier. Here is all you need to know: - Starting with bib 26, Ledecká won in 1:31.87, beating 2019 world championship runner-up Corinne Suter by 0.35s. Austria’s Stephanie Venier, second in the 2017 downhill worlds, was third, 0.45s behind. - Ledecká, winner of 16 snowboard World Cup races and twice a snowboard world champion, shocked the alpine skiing world at the 2018 Olympics when she won the Super-G gold medal ahead of all the favourites. She also won the snowboard parallel slalom Olympic title, becoming the first athlete crowned in both alpine ski and snowboard events. - The 24-year-old Prague native’s previous best alpine skiing World Cup result was seventh in a downhill on the same course two years ago. - Ledecká is also the first Czech skier to win a World Cup downhill.
