Chloe Kim wins the gold medal in women's snowboard halfpipe — and makes history in the process. 🥇
The 21-year-old American won the halfpipe for a second consecutive Games, making her the first woman to win two Olympic gold medals in the event.
As she did four years ago in Pyeongchang, Kim entered as the overwhelming favorite and ran away with the competition. Kim locked up the contest on her first run, putting down a safety score on her first lap down the halfpipe.
With Kim's win, the first two gold medals of these Olympics have come from female snowboarders. Lindsey Jacobellis claimed the first gold in snowboard cross on Wednesday.
