The Austrian skiier Andrea Fischbacher has won the women's Olympic super-G crown to end the American Lindsey Vonn's dreams of a golden double.

The 24-year-old took full advantage of a tricky course set by her own coaches to hand Austria a first Alpine skiing gold of the Games with a winning time of one minute 20.14 seconds.

Slovenia's Tina Maze took the silver, leaving Vonn with the bronze.
