The body of a missing Olympic skier from Spain has been found in a mountainous region near Madrid, authorities said.

Blanca Fernández Ochoa, a 56-year-old alpine skier, was discovered Wednesday by a police dog near a hiking trail in Cercedilla, the BBC reported.

Fernández Ochoa became the first Spanish woman to score a medal at the Winter Olympics when she won bronze in 1992.

She was last seen on Aug. 23 and her Mercedes was discovered Sunday near the hiking trail, police said.

Authorities said there were no apparent signs that she was hurt in a fall.

Officials are investigating her cause of death and have ordered an autopsy, the BBC reported.

“It is a very sad day for Spanish sports,” said María José Rienda, Spain’s secretary of state for sports, according to the outlet.
