Soaring Above the Halfpipe

Chloe Kim won Olympic snowboard halfpipe gold at PyeongChang 2018 at just 17, in the country her parents emigrated from. She defended her title at Beijing 2022, cementing her place as the sport's leading star.

Kim was the first woman to land back-to-back 1080s, three full rotations each, in competition. Halfpipe runs are judged on difficulty, amplitude, or height above the wall, and execution, and Kim's big air sets her apart.
