Pre-race favourite Lindsey Vonn put on a magnificent display to win gold in the women's downhill at Whistler.
The world champion, 25, pushed herself to the limit over a challenging Olympic course to power across the line in one minute, 44.19 seconds.
She was 0.56 seconds ahead of fellow American Julia Mancuso, with Austria's Elisabeth Goergl taking the bronze.
It was a stunning display from Vonn who had been struggling with a shin injury in the build-up to the Olympics and had hardly skied over the past two weeks
