Janica Kostelic: Four medals in Salt Lake

📲 Subscribe to @olympics: oly.ch/Subscribe
A few months before the Salt Lake Winter Olympics got under way, Croatian skier Janica Kostelic was recovering from surgery on her knee and her chances of even participating looked mighty slim. But by the end of February 2002 Kostelic had carved herself into the record books. She was to become the first woman to win four alpine skiing medals at the same Games, and her three golds were also an unprecedented achievement in the sport.

[@vinkobaotic]

Tih dana, kada se javila iz Amerike, ugledah, uskoro, najbolju hrvatsku sportašicu ikad... (Svaka čast Blanki, svaka čast Sandri... ali Jana je i Janica i Jana). Zanimljiv mi je komentar Tonija Kukoča... Dok skijašice iz raznih alpskih zemalja dolaze u borbu za medalje u raznim disciplinama, iz Hrvatske pošaljemo JEDNU - i ona pokupi sve medalje...!!!❤

[@AnteNDH1]

Janice, thank you for everything, you made my childhood winter times memorable and so happy. Love you ❤🇭🇷

Retired at 25, created a legend, best female skier in history, no one comes close by number of medals or anything else. Top of the world at 25. That is unheard of.

As a Croatian descendant and Salt Lake City resident it always makes me proud that Janica's amazing performance happened here. Anytime I'm near Park City or Snowbasin I can't help but think of her.

Možda da nismo gubili vrijeme u jugu s komunistima i partizanima bi bili velesila ovako je samo možda,a Janica najbolja sportašica i pojedinačno i ekipno u povijesti hrvatske

[@brankobelan4561]

Stvarno nemam rijeci... Takva dominacija ne vida se preko noci. A, da je nasa Janica najbolja u povijesti Olimpijade u zenskoj disciplini skijanja, tu nema govora.

[@gordonanderson3111]

On of the first to stay super low and eliminate pole plants, since they would require raising up higher. Who was the first to do this (besides Jean C. Killy, naturally) and win every race he entered? Initials are B.K..
