Tina Maze cannot believe that she managed to claim gold in the women's downhill competition on Wednesday.

Slovenia's gold medal-winning skier Tina Maze has admitted that her victory in the women's downhill on Wednesday morning was a dream come true for her.

Maze shared the gold medal with Dominique Gisin of Switzerland, which was the first time such a situation has occurred in an Olympic alpine event.

"I have no words," she told BBC Sport. "This doesn't feel real. I have been dreaming about this since I was little.

"The first ski race I ever won in my life was a downhill so before I went up today I said to myself, 'This has to be it. I can do it,' and I just went for it."

Switzerland also took bronze through Lara Gut, while Great Britain's Chemmy Alcott came 19th.
