5. Italy's Michela Moioli wins gold in women's snowboard cross
Italian Michela Moioli won a thrilling final to take gold in the women's snowboard cross in Pyeongchang.

The gold is Italy's second of the Games in South Korea.

Sablikova misses out on a third straight gold as she finishes just 1.62 seconds short of Esmee Visser, so the Czech great has to settle for silver while Visser celebrates a sixth gold for the Netherlands.
And it's agony with Annouk van der Weijden, as OAR athlete Natalia Voronina also clocks a quicker time in the final pairing to push her out of the medals entirely.
