Czech snowboarder Zuzana Maderova claimed gold ​in the women's parallel giant slalom and Benjamin Karl ‌of Austria retained his title ‌in the men's event at the Milano Cortina Olympics on Sunday.

Silver in the men's ⁠competition went to Sangkyum Kim ‌of Korea and Tervel Zamfirov of ​Bulgaria earned bronze in a photo finish.

For the women, Sabine Payer of Austria claimed silver and Italy's Lucia ‌Dalmasso earned bronze in the women's event.

Two-time champion Ester Ledecka lost to Payer ⁠in the quarter-finals. The 30-year-old was the first female to win gold in two different Winter Olympic sports at Pyeongchang 2018 when she prevailed in the snowboarding parallel giant slalom and the skiing Super-G.

The versatile ⁠Czech athlete had to ‌choose between the two events in Milan due to a scheduling clash, opting for snowboarding over the ⁠downhill races.
