Ukrainian snowboarder Annamari Dancha became a silver medalist of the FIS Snowboarding World Championship.
A 28-year-old Ukrainian ranked second in parallel slalom.
This is the first ever medal for Ukraine in snowboarding at the world championships. It is worth noting that Dancha had earlier barely made it to TOP 16, securing only the 15th spot.
