Olympics-Snowboarding-American ‘golden girl’ Kim blows away rivals to retain halfpipe title
Chloe Kim demonstrated her greatness in women's snowboarding on Thursday, as she defended her 2018 Olympic title with a dominant performance to win the halfpipe gold at the Winter Games. The 21-year-old American set herself apart from the competition with her first run, earning a score of 94 with ease by executing 1080s. Queralt Castellet of Spain was unable to match Kim's performance and had to settle for silver, while Sena Tomita of Japan won the bronze medal. After taking a two-year break from the slopes, Kim proved her worth by reclaiming her Olympic gold at the Pyeongchang Games in 2018 at the age of 17, making her the youngest woman ever to do so.0
