The 15-year-old, who is coming off a second consecutive X Games gold, scored a perfect 100 to win the halfpipe event at the U.S. Grand Prix in Park City, Utah.
Like last week’s competition, Kim had the contest won when she dropped in for the final run — only this time she hit the back-to-back 1080s on her second and third hits.
