ZHANGJIAKOU, China : Norway's Therese Johaug put on a staggering late burst to snatch the gold medal in the 10 km classic race at the Beijing Games on Thursday to win by four-tenths of a second from Finland's Kerttu Niskanen.
Norway’s Therese Johaug won her second gold of the Games with a thrilling victory in the women’s 10km classic. Johaug, who won the 15km skiathlon on Saturday, trailed Finland’s Kerttu Niskanen at time checks throughout the course but produced a fast finish to snatch victory by 0.4 seconds.
YANQING, China : Johannes Strolz of Austria won the gold medal in the men's combined event at the Winter Olympics on Thursday.
Johannes Strolz has won Alpine combined gold at the Winter Olympics, replicating his father who did the same back in 1988. Strolz caused an upset with his first-ever World Cup victory in Adelboden on January 9, but he has followed that up with a stunning gold medal on the biggest stage. Ad/> After being the fourth quickest in the downhill in a time of 1:43.87, the Austrian's time of 47.56 in the slalom saw him produce an overall result of 2:31.43.
Ireland's Jack Gower put in a superb display on the slopes to finish 12th overall in the men's alpine combined at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games on Thursday.
Jack Crawford of Toronto, Ont. picked up his first Olympic medal, skiing to bronze in the men's alpine combined, bringing Canada's medal tally to nine at Beijing 2022.
In the discipline that decides the best men's all-round Alpine skier, the combined event, it was Johannes Strolz who came out on top at the Yanqing National Alpine Skiing Centre on Thursday (10 February). The Austrian added to the family trophy cabinet winning the gold medal in the two-run speed and technical event, 34 years after his father Hubert did the same.
Favourite for the men’s alpine combined Alexis Pinturault saw his gold medal hopes take a hit after a “disappointing” downhill section in Beijing. The French skier clocked 01:45.04 while Super-G bronze medallist Aleksander Aamodt Kilde of Norway recorded the quickest time with 1:43.12. Ad/> Pinturault, who won silver in Pyeongchang four years ago behind the now-retired Austrian Marcel Hirscher, made an error on the 3.1-kilometre course which ultimately proved costly.
