Chloe Kim Dominates X Games Aspen with Historic Performance

Chloe Kim has once again proven her dominance in the world of snowboarding, securing her seventh women's snowboard halfpipe title at X Games Aspen. The two-time Olympic gold medalist showcased an extraordinary performance by scoring 93.33 points on her first run, which included a groundbreaking double cork, a first in X Games women’s halfpipe history. This score stood unchallenged throughout the competition. In her second run, Kim confidently landed another cab double cork 1080, sealing her victory with a smile despite a minor fall on her subsequent trick.
American snowboarder Maddie Mastro claimed the silver medal with an impressive 89.66-point run that featured her signature double crippler, adding to the excitement of the event. Kim’s latest triumph brings her one step closer to Shaun White’s record of eight X Games Aspen halfpipe gold medals. After taking a season off following her 2022 Olympic gold medal win, Kim returned stronger than ever. She made history last year by becoming the first woman to land a 1260 in competition and continued her streak by landing a double cork at the Laax Open in Switzerland alongside Mastro.
Kim’s journey back to the top has been fueled by a renewed passion for snowboarding. “I’ve really enjoyed doing runs and tricks that feel good to me,” she expressed during the broadcast. Her success not only highlights her exceptional talent but also serves as an inspiration to athletes everywhere. As she aims for a third consecutive Olympic gold in 2026, Kim exemplifies perseverance and dedication. Her achievements remind us that staying true to oneself can lead to remarkable accomplishments and set new standards in any field.
