Could more history be on the way for Chloe Kim?
On Thursday afternoon, Kim is set to compete in her third Winter Olympics, with a chance to earn the highest distinction possible for her third-straight appearance: a gold medal. The U.S. snowboarding star previously dominated her halfpipe event at the 2018 and 2022 Games. Now a bonafide Winter Olympics star, Kim can become the first snowboarder, regardless of country or gender, to win three-straight gold medals in an event.
It's also been a dramatic path to Milan for Kim, who announced in January she had suffered a torn labrum in her shoulder. That injury did not impact her status for the Winter Olympics, but she will be wearing a brace while competing — and it also meant her Olympic runs would be her first competitive event in months.
Regardless of her injury, Kim proved on Wednesday that she'll be the heavy favorite for gold in the women's halfpipe yet again, leading qualifying with a score of 90.25. Now, can she officially secure another top finish at the Olympics?
The Sporting News is tracking live updates and highlights from the women's halfpipe event on Thursday afternoon, where Kim enters as the favorite to win a third-straight gold medal. Follow along below to see if Kim can pull it off.
