Ledecka going for glory again on snowboard and skis at the Milan Cortina Olympics
Ester Ledecka aims to repeat her rare Olympic double despite schedule conflicts blocking downhill participation, appealing unsuccessfully to the IOC for event timing changes.
- The schedule has the PGS final in Livigno set for Feb. 8, while she can compete in Cortina's super-G on Feb. 12 after lodging an unsuccessful IOC appeal.
- Since her teens, Ledecka has insisted on competing in both sports, crying when she dropped downhill at Pyeongchang 2018, reflecting her long-held plan and determination.
- Fresh off a World Cup PGS win, Ester Ledecka arrives in form after finishing 10th in a World Cup super-G at Crans-Montana and training in Tarvisio on Jan. 16.
- Her bid to medal in both events could add to rare Olympic history, as no snowboarder has yet won the same event at three consecutive Olympics, and she could extend her legacy at Milan Cortina.
- A roughly 4-hour drive separates Livigno and Cortina, complicating scheduling for Ledecka, who hopes organizers consider her unique third-time dual qualification.
