Sweden's Andre Myhrer won his first career gold medal Wednesday in the men's slalom at the 2018 Winter Olympics (dates/times ET).
The skier finished with a time of 1:38.99 after the two runs, 0.34 seconds ahead of silver-medal winner Ramon Zenhaeusern of Switzerland. Austria's Michael Matt—the younger brother of 2014 gold medalist Mario Matt—earned the bronze medal in the competition.
The men's slalom is one of the largest events in the Olympics with 108 initial entries, but Myhrer was consistent enough to beat out the extended field in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
