Dufour-Lapointe "in shock" after winning gold

Canada's Justine Dufour-Lapointe has admitted that she was "in shock" when she won gold in women's moguls at the 2014 Sochi Games.

The 19-year-old finished ahead of her sister Chloe and 2010 Olympic champion Hannah Kearney.

"Holding Chloe's hand [while stepping onto the podium] meant that I wasn't alone," ESPN quotes her as saying.

"I was in shock. I saw Chloe and I felt calm. Holding her hand, I knew it would feel more like home."

The third Dufour-Lapointe sister, Maxime, failed to make the final phase of the event.
