Chloe Kim: Gold medal run| Final halfpipe| Nationality ethnicity
Gold medal run:
The 21-year-old fell while attempting a 1260 during her second and third runs, a trick that involves 3.5 rotations in the air, . And even though she seemingly had no trouble pulling herself out of the snow and riding to the bottom of the halfpipe at Genting Snow Park, she admitted that the wipeout hurt.
Sometime before the event ended, Kim found her phone and posted a selfie to her Instagram story. In the photo, Kim has her goggles on her forehead and her eyes squeezed shut.
Final halfpipe:
Chloe Kim all but secured her gold medal after her first run of the day. The American snowboarding sensation earned a 94 from the judges after putting down a near-flawless performance in the first round of Thursday’s women’s halfpipe final.
With a score in place that her competitors couldn’t touch and two more runs remaining in the event, Kim resolved to have some fun. And she made the most of it, both on the slopes and the internet.
