Wendy Holdener

Beijing – Slovenia’s Maruša Ferk Saioni finished 9th in the women’s Alpine combined at the Winter Olympics in Beijing on Thursday, which saw a double victory of Swiss skiers. Michelle Gisin won the gold and Wendy Holdener the silver medal, with Italy’s Federica Brignone grabbing bronze.

Vlhova secured her 14th career win with an aggressive second run, attacking from fourth after the first. Sweden's Anna Swenn Larsson, who had the best first half of the race, was well on her way to beating Vlhova, but crashed just a few gates before the finish line.
