Forget champagne: Czech skier/snowboarder Ester Ledecka celebrated her surprise gold medal in the Super-G on Saturday with a dinner of champions at Kentucky Fried Chicken.
Ledecka, who appeared stunned after her winning run, was spotted by Associated Press reporters eating chicken at a KFC near the snowboard course.
When the Associated Press reporters asked why Ledecka was eating fried chicken, she said, "Don't tell my coaches."
She said she still couldn't really believe she'd won. Clearly, she hadn't made plans for a big celebration.
She ate quietly, basically unnoticed, with three other members of the Czech contingent.
As she stood up to leave, she casually picked up her gold medal and draped it around her neck. The people at the next table clapped.
