ROSA KHUTOR, Russia (Reuters) - American-born Vic Wild won his second gold medal for Russia at the Sochi Games on Saturday when he stormed to victory in the men's parallel slalom final to become the first snowboarder to win two titles at a single Olympics.
Austrian Julia Dujmovits had moments earlier won the first women's title in the event's Olympic debut but it was Wild's second triumph for his adopted country after his giant slalom gold on Wednesday that brought the crowd to a crescendo.
