Chloe Kim sweeps halfpipe, slopestyle at Youth Winter Olympics

Snowboarder Chloe Kim delivered as the most recognizable name on the U.S. roster for the Youth Winter Olympics, sweeping the halfpipe and slopestyle titles in Lillehammer, Norway, this week.

Kim, 15 and the two-time reigning Winter X Games champion, also carried the American flag into the Opening Ceremony last Friday.

That came less than a week after she became what’s believed to be the first woman to score a perfect 100 in a top-level snowboard halfpipe contest and the first woman to land back-to-back 1080s at the U.S. Grand Prix in Park City, Utah. Video of that run is here.
