Xinhua,February 12, 2018 Adjust font size:

PYEONGCHANG, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- Jamie Anderson gifted United States their second gold medal in snowboard as she defended her title in a delayed women's slopestyle final at PyeongChang Winter Olympics here on Monday.

The final on Monday morning had to be delayed due to bad weather, with the third run of all finalists cancelled.

Anderson became the first woman to win two Olympic gold medals in snowboard with her unparalleled 83.00-point performance in the first run.

Laurie Blouin of Canada was placed second in 76.33, while Enni Rukajarvi, who finished in 75.38, became the first Finnish snowboarder to win two medals at the Winter Games, adding a bronze to last edition's silver in Sochi.

Following Sunday's victory in men's counterpart, teenage sensation Redmond Gerard of United States became the first medalist at the Olympic Winter Games born after 1 January 2000. Enditem
