          PYEONGCHANG, Feb. 16 (Xinhua) -- Swedish Alpine skier Frida Hansdotter was crowned in women's slalom of PyeongChang Winter Olympic Games here on Friday, while defending champion Mikaela Shiffrin witnessed a disappointing afternoon with her fourth finish.

          Hansdotter collected a leading time of 1 minute and 38.63 seconds from two runs.

          "I was just having a great feeling. To cross the finish line and seeing the green line, you know it's a medal, and a great chance to win a gold medal. I was screaming 'yes'," said Hansdotter.

          Wendy Holdener of Switzerland was placed second, 0.05 seconds behind Hansdotter.

          "I am really happy. I was nervous, and my legs weren't that relaxed on the first few gates. But I fight until the end. It isn't too bad to get second. This gives me confidence for the combined and the team event," commented Holdener.

          The third position belonged to Austrian Katharina Gallhuber in 1:38.95.

          Shiffrin, gold medalist of the event four years ago, was restrained to fourth, seeing her deficit against Gallhuber at 0.08 seconds.

          "Disappointed for sure. I didn't really feel like myself today. I did a lot of training runs, a lot of free skiing, I was trying to get my really good feeling back but it just wasn't there today to ski the aggressive way I need to to be worthy of a medal.

          "It's a really big bummer because I know how I have been skiing slalom all season long, it's so close. But I am really happy for the girls who did medal and I go back home and re-evaluate," she commented.

          21-year-old Kong Fanying, the only Chinese women's Alpine skier in PyeongChang, failed to finish the race.
