Ashley Farquharson came from behind to snag more hardware for Team USA, securing the bronze medal in women’s luge.
Farquharson entered the final two runs in fifth place, but her final two times gave her a combined time of 3:31.543, which was good enough to propel her up two spots for the bronze. The time also ties Erin Hamlin’s time at the Olympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia in 2014.
Farquharson is just the second women’s luge medalist from the United States, with Hamlin being the first. It’s also just the third singles luge medal for Team USA after Chris Mazdzer took home silver in the men’s iteration in Pyeongchang, South Korea in the 2018 Winter Olympics.
