Snowboarder Chloe Kim has won the Olympic Gold Medal in women’s halfpipe. On the 13th of February she was the first Team Toyota athlete to medal in the PyeongChang 2018 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. At only 17 years old Chloe is considered as one of the best female snowboarders of our time. She ended up winning with a score of 98.25 – no other competitor in her class came anywhere close.
“Going to my third run I knew I had the gold,” Kim said. “But I also knew I wouldn’t be satisfied taking the gold and knowing that I hadn’t put down my best. That third run was for me — to put down the best run I could do.”
After scoring just below the 100 mark, Kim said the run wasn’t quite perfect — but we’ll note that it was closer to perfection than anything the thousands of spectators and media had ever seen. We just wanted to send a big congrats to Chloe Kim from us here at Toyota of Greensburg! Thanks for being such an awesome representation of not only the United States but of everyone at Toyota as well.
