In tricky conditions with plenty of riders falling, Henderson finished in 41 minutes and nine seconds to claim silver, behind Grace Brown of Australia, who was a remarkable 90 seconds faster.
In a tense finish, American Chloe Dygert fell less than a second short of Henderson’s time to end up in third place.
Henderson – from Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire – pulled off the first shock of the Olympics, after standing outside of the favourites ahead of the Games.
The 25-year-old was previously a national champion in the slalom as a teenager before leaving the Winter sport for cycling.
