Olympic Snowboarding Halfpipe 2022 Live-Stream Schedule for Women's Final
From a field of 22 competitors representing 12 nations, the top 12 female halfpipe snowboarders have advanced to Wednesday's final (Thursday morning in China) at the Beijing Olympics.
Unsurprisingly, Chloe Kim, the heavy favorite coming in to this event, earned the top score 87.75 as the top qualifier heading into the final. However, she was the only member of the American team—also including Maddie Mastro, Tessa Maud and Zoe Kalapos—to advance to the final.
Kim, who became the youngest female snowboarder to win Olympic gold in 2018 at the Pyeongchang Games when she was 17, finds herself in the high-pressure position of being potentially the first American to win gold at these Olympics.
