- I was very nervous about starting, but once I got going I focused on what I would do in the track, ”Sahlin said in a press release from the Swedish Olympic Committee.
The 17-year-old Sollentuna rider, who was second to the second ride, won by three hundredths ahead of Swiss Lena Volken who led after the first ride. German Lara Klein took bronze.
It was Sweden coach David Andersson who set the course in the second race.
- It's always nice when your coach sets the track. The tactic was to gas with control, says Sahlin.
It was also Swedish in fourth and fifth place through Wilma Marklund and Hanna Aronsson Elfman respectively.
A few days ago Adam Hofstedt took gold in super-G. He then followed it up with bronze in combination.
