After winning an individual silver in the women's 1,500 meters and then a bronze in the 1,000, Miho Takagi finally got the medal she coveted the most.

The one that made history, the one that saw her become the first Japanese woman ever to complete a full set of medals in a single Winter Olympics.

Four years after missing out on a spot at the Sochi Olympics, Takagi struck gold at the Pyeongchang Winter Games as the heartbeat of the women's pursuit team on Wednesday night.
