2018: Chloe Kim Flies High in Pyeongchang

Chloe Kim had already secured a gold medal in halfpipe when she dropped in for her final Olympic run in 2018. But instead of a low-key victory lap, Chloe took aim at history. She flew into back-to-back 1080 flips, the first time that difficult combination had been landed at the Olympics. The run, scored less than two points shy of a perfect 100, was vivid proof that Chloe's progressive, rule-breaking style was already pushing the sport to the next level. Chloe's currently taking a temporary break from snowboarding to attend Princeton, but we suspect we'll see carving up a halfpipe by the time the 2022 Olympics roll around.
