Varvara Voronchikhina returned to international competition in January
Para-alpine skier Varvara Voronchikhina won the first Paralympic gold medal for Russia since 2014 with victory in the women's standing super G.
It comes two days after the 23-year-old won standing downhill bronze on Saturday to claim her nation's first medal of the Games.
These Games mark the first appearance of the Russian flag at a Paralympics since staging the event in Sochi 12 years ago. Russia and its athletes had been banned following the state-sponsored doping scandal before further sanctions followed after its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Voronchikhina and her team-mates only returned to international competition in January after Russia won an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) against FIS, the international governing body for skiing and snowboarding.
