In a major shock of the Alpine skiing events, Ledecka of Czech Republic, the first athlete to compete in two different sports at a Winter Olympics, shockingly won women's super-G title.
Ledecka finished her race in a leading time of 1 minute and 21.11 seconds. American great Lindsey Vonn sat sixth in the competition delayed by one hour due to strong wind.
"I was probably the only snowboarder on site. All the other girls didn't risk a lot. There must be a lot of pressure on them. I was just trying to do my best run," said Ledecka, who also competed in snowboard parallel giant slalom in PyeongChang.
"I am so surprised about all of it. I'm really trying to win and do a good run every time but I didn't really realize that this really can happen," added the snowboard parallel world champion.
Defending champion Anna Veith of Austria was second, just one hundredth of a second behind Ledecka. The third position went to Tina Weirather of Liechtenstein.
In Alpensia Biathlon Center, Anastasiya Kuzmina of Slovakia won personal third gold medal with victory in women's 12.5km mass start. Kuzmina has equalled for the most gold medals in Summer and Winter Games representing Slovakia, after she clocked a match-best 35 minutes and 23 seconds with just one penalty in shooting.
In Alpensia Cross-Country Skiing Center, Norway won the women's 4x5-kilometer relay, which is the country's seventh gold medal in PyeongChang.
