Ledecká, the first woman to win individual gold medals in different sports at the same Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang last month after taking the Alpine skiing super-G and snowboard parallel giant slalom titles, finished second behind Bykova in Turkey.

Bykova, a member of the Olympic Athletes from Russia team at the Games, overcame the Czech star in the final.

Daniela Ulbing of Austria was third after she defeated Ekaterina Tudegesheva of Russia.

Germany's Stefan Baumeister won the corresponding men's event after big final opponent Edwin Coratti of Italy failed to finish.

Third place was claimed by Tim Mastnak of Slovenia as compatriot Marguč crashed out of the small final.

Olympic bronze medallist Eva Samková of the Czech Republic and Austria's Alessandro Haemmerle were winners in the women's and men's events respectively at the Snowboard Cross World Cup in La Molina.

Samková won the women's big final as she defeated Nelly Moenne Loccoz and Charlotte Bankes of France and Italy's Raffaella Brutto.

Bankes, who qualified in top spot, recovered from a crash to finish third behind compatriot Loccoz.

In the men's final, Haemmerle led an Austrian one-two as he beat team-mate Hanno Douschan.

Emanuel Perathoner of Italy accidentally took out Germany's Paul Berg before he picked himself up to take third place.

Italy's Michela Moioli leads the way in the race for the overall women's title as she has 6,810 points.

Frenchman Pierre Vaultier, who successfully defended his Olympic crown at Pyeongchang 2018 last month, is the current men's leader on 6,520 points.

Neither Moioli nor Vaultier were able to extend their respective leads as both failed to qualify for the finals but they remain in pole position to clinch overall success.
