Chloe Kim Makes Olympic History as the First Ever Woman to Win Two Gold Medals in Halfpipe
She posted a 94.00 in her first run to quickly surge to the top of the leaderboard.
Chloe Kim has made history as the first ever woman to win back-to-back gold medals in snowboarding halfpipe at the Olympics.
Kim dominated the women’s halfpipe competition early Thursday morning in Beijing, claiming her second gold medal in the event after posting a 94.00 in her first run to quickly surge to the top of the leaderboard. The score held up through all three rounds, giving Kim her second straight gold medal in the halfpipe.
“Not to discount any of these riders, but she has a bag of tricks that not anyone else does,” Kim’s longtime coach, Rick Bower, said. “And she showcased that in her first run.”
