In Beijing four years ago - where Ebba Årsjö won two gold medals - she crashed out in the giant slalom competition.
In Cortina there was no repeat.
The Super Swede struck again and took a clear lead after the first run, leading by 1.47 seconds over Russia's Varvara Vorontjichina.
In the second run, Årsjö was equally dominant and then doubled her margin of victory to 2.84 seconds over the Russian, who had taken gold in the combined event.
Frenchwoman Aurélie Richard took bronze.
Close to vomiting
Ebba Årsjö revealed after the first run that she was extremely nervous about the triple gold hunt.
"I felt like I was going to throw up at the start. It was even worse than the downhill."
But the nerves became the focus instead, and by the second run the nervousness was gone.
"Then I had torn off the patch a little and knew what to do," she told SVT.
Ebba Årsjö had a few mistakes in the first run and was more satisfied with her second run, even though she thought the surface had gotten worse.
"It was very bumpy in some places, so I missed, but I still had more speed and a better run," she says.
Celebrated with family
Her parents, boyfriend and friends were all present in Cortina. That made her happiness even greater, even though the golden day came at a cost.
"It was really, really hard. But it feels absolutely fantastic," says Ebba Årsjö.
The Swedish alpine star has so far won gold in downhill, combined and giant slalom, and taken bronze in the super-G.
Ebba Årsjö also still has a golden chance left as the slalom competition takes place on Saturday.
