Choi Gaon, a South Korean athlete, has secured a gold medal in the women's halfpipe snowboard at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, leaving behind her mentor and idol, Chloe Kim. On Thursday, February 12, South Korea secured their first gold medal, and the 17-year-old snatched the honour after taking a nasty fall.

Choi Ga-on, Sehwa Girls' High School, has achieved the historic feat of winning South Korea's first-ever Winter Olympic gold medal in skiing. Amid this accomplishment, broadcast footage of her past appearance with her family is being revisited.

It was a busy Day 6 of the Winter Olympic Games in Milan Cortina as Chloe Kim and Breezy Johnson went for gold and the fallout of the Ukrainian slider disqualification continued.

The 17-year-old Choi dethroned the two-time defending champion with a score of 90.25 on her final run. Kim had one more shot to get back on top but she fell on her last of three runs. The 25-year-old American took silver, while Japan’s Mitsuki Ono claimed bronze.

Chinese snowboarder Liu Jiayu had a scary crash on Wednesday during the Olympics and was rushed to the hospital.

Choi Ga-on, 18 years old, from Sehwa Girls’ High School, who made her name on the international stage early, won South Korea’s first-ever gold medal in Olympic skiing and snowboarding at her first Olympics.
