Ester Ledecka
Ester Ledecka made Olympic history by competing and winning the gold in two different sports, snowboarding and alpine skiing, at the Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics. The 25-year-old Czech champion said, “From the beginning, people have told me: ‘You can’t do both, you have to specialise, otherwise you’ll never reach top level.’ I said, ‘No, I want to practise both, and if it bothers you, I’ll find another coach because that’s how I’ll do it.’”
The Richard Mille sports ambassador is priming for next year’s Olympics. Will she prove this was not a fluke?
