Her achievement is perhaps even more special because the 33-year-old athlete came out of retirement especially for the 2014 Sochi games after they put her sport, Slopestyle, in the Winter Olympics for the very first time.

And thank goodness she did.

Her victory was a pretty beautiful moment, the commentators were crying, we were crying, her parents were crying (and screaming), all in all it was an incredible celebration.

Of course, Twitter blew up like crazy - here's a snippet of the best reactions to Jenny Jones' big win...

First of all, the woman herself took a cheeky medal selfie, #melfie as we're going to call it from now on...

We think Jenny's going to have to get used to everyone loving her, especially with her Twitter followers reaching at 58,000 (at time of going to press).
