    Tina Maze (SLO, 1) wins gold

    Tina Maze skied through rain and snow to win Olympic gold, and then swam through slush to celebrate.

    In tough conditions on the slopes above Sochi, Maze won her second gold medal of the 2014 Games by leading the giant slalom from start to finish.

    The Slovenian skier is the first woman since Marie-Theres Nadig of Switzerland at the 1972 Sapporo Games with enough versatility to master the downhill's test of pure speed and the giant slalom's more technical turns at the same Olympics.
