Jakara Anthony has ended a 12-year Winter Olympics gold-medal drought for Australia by claiming a dominant victory in the women's moguls at the Beijing Games.
The 23-year-old Anthony scored 83.09 points in the six-woman super final.
American Jaelin Kauf (80.28) was second and Russian Anastasiia Smirnova (77.72) )was third.
After finishing fourth on her Olympic debut four years ago in PyeongChang, Anthony dominated the two-day competition, posting the top score in all four rounds.
"It's really incredible to know that all the hard work that I have been putting into my whole skiing career is really paying off," Anthony told the Seven Network.
"I'm just lost for words.
"(Being able to handle the pressure) is a a real testament to myself and the team around me in the last four years and the really solid processes we follow.
"It really hasn't been easy.
"I think that I am a much better athlete and person because of it."
It marked the first time in Winter Olympics history that Australia had won more than one medal on a single day after Tess Coady claimed bronze in the women's snowboard slopestyle earlier on Sunday.
Until Sunday, Australia's most recent Winter Olympic champions were Torah Bright (snowboard halfpipe) and Lydia Lassila (women's aerials) at the 2010 Vancouver Games,
