Snowboard: Pretty remarkable sub-story in the women’s giant slalom, where qualifying has set the final 16 boarders who will go into quarter finals, head to head. Ester Ledecka, the reigning gold medallist in this event from the last two Olympics (as well as a cheeky skiing gold thrown in there as well) has unsurprisingly finished fastest. That means she’ll be drawn against the 16th qualifier, Claudia Riegler, who has qualified at 52 years of age.
This is her fifth Olympics, but her first was 2002. Later she competed in 2010, 2014, and 2018, and now eight years later is back for another crack. Go on.
