Chloe Kim was extremely close to making Olympic history if she had won the gold medal in the women’s halfpipe final on Thursday as she would’ve become the first snowboarder to win gold three Olympics in a row. Instead, she won the silver medal as South Korea’s Choi Ga-on posted an impressive final run to get the win.
Kim went last in the competition, and she ended up falling on her final run. Ga-on and her team understandably began cheering as they knew it would be a gold medal win for the 17-year-old. As Kim made her way back to the gathering area she immediately went up to Ga-on to hug her and celebrate her gold medal win. What a classy move by the snowboarding G.O.A.T.
