SAALBACH-HINTERGLEMM, Austria — Snowboarding. Skiing. And now windsurfing, too? Ester Ledecka already pulled off a stunning feat at the 2018 Winter Olympics when she claimed golds in two different sports in Pyeongchang with victories in Alpine skiing and snowboarding. The Summer Olympics could be up next for the multi-talented Czech athlete. Ledecka has already competed in the Defi Wind competition in France and she might be tempted to take a crack at qualifying in windsurfing for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. She's been windsurfing since she was 5. Ledecka says "right now it's more of a hobby." Then she added "but yeah, why not?"
