Sweden's Ebba Andersson makes miraculous recovery to win silver medal after epic wipeout

No two Olympic medals are earned the same way.

Sweden had a chance to secure a gold medal in the women’s 4 x 7.5 km relay, but Ebba Andersson crashed hard and flipped over. When Andersson got up, she realized she had lost her right ski and couldn’t put it back on.

She then plodded along with one ski, carrying the other under her arm, while waiting for Sweden’s ski technician to reach her with a new ski. The hectic scene unfolded as Andersson was attempting to keep Sweden's place on the podium.
