Application rejected
Dream shattered! Ledecka receives a rejection from the FIS
At next year's Olympic Games, Ester Ledecka will have to choose between the downhill as an alpine skier and the parallel giant slalom as a snowboarder. A clash of dates prevents her from competing in both events.

Making history
Ledecka made sporting history in 2018 when she won gold on skis (super-G) and snowboard (parallel giant slalom) in Pyeongchang. Four years later, she repeated her Olympic triumph on the snowboard in Beijing.
The 29-year-old was also planning big things in Cortina. "I hope they give me a chance," said Ledecka recently. "So that I can deliver this unique show. That's my biggest dream and I really believe that I'm one of the best in the world in both sports."
The downhill and parallel giant slalom will take place in Cortina on Sunday, February 8, at two different venues. The alpine racers will compete for the medals in Cortina d'Ampezzo, the snowboarders in Livigno. As an alpine skier, Ledecka will be competing in the Super-G. The second speed race will be held four days later.
