Freestyle-Germany's Maier wins gold in women's ski cross
- On Friday, Daniela Maier of Germany won the women's ski cross gold at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympic Games, crossing the finish in Livigno just ahead of Fanny Smith.
- Ski cross's format makes it unpredictable, as four riders race down a bump-filled course, causing position changes and upsets that explain Daniela Maier's surprise win over defending champion Sandra Naeslund.
- Maier surged into the lead early in the final and maintained it to the finish amid top World Cup–ranked competitors under light snowfall in Livigno, then celebrated by leaping onto the podium and kissing her gold medal.
- The result left the podium occupied by Fanny Smith, Swiss ski cross racer, who took silver, while defending gold medallist Sandra Naeslund from Sweden earned bronze, and Canadian racers were all eliminated in the quarterfinals.
- A large crowd of Italian fans watched as Maier and Smith tied for bronze four years ago at Beijing, with Saturday's men's ski cross medal contest upcoming.
