Kerrin Lee-Gartner of Canada won the gold medal, Hilary Lindh of the United States took the silver, and Veronika Wallinger of Austria was the bronze medalist. Seizinger and Kronberger were close behind and just off the podium, while Bournissen failed to finish.[5][6][7] (Seizinger won the next two editions in 1994 and 1998.)
The Roc de Fer (iron rock) course started at an elevation of 2,260 m (7,415 ft) above sea level with a vertical drop of 828 m (2,717 ft) and a course length of 2.770 km (1.72 mi). Lee-Gartner's winning time was 112.55 seconds, yielding an average course speed of 88.601 km/h (55.1 mph), with an average vertical descent rate of 7.357 m/s (24.1 ft/s).
Lee-Gartner was the first from outside the Alps to win a women's speed event (downhill, super-G) at the Olympics; through 2018, she remains the only Canadian to win an Olympic speed event.
