A joyful Chloe Kim threw down some absurd tricks in her first halfpipe final run at Beijing Olympics

Chloe Kim is absolutely unreal.

Chloe Kim is just unreal, folks.

On Thursday at the Beijing Olympics, the final of the women’s snowboard halfpipe got underway, with Kim looking to defend her gold medal from 2018. And after one attempt, Kim blew the competition away with some absurd tricks for what might just be the gold medal run.

In Kim’s first run of three on the day, the 21-year-old took to the halfpipe and laid down some absolutely ridiculous tricks. Not only that, Kim hit over 12 feet above the lip of the pipe, just an absurd height that showcases her power and speed as a snowboarder.

Seriously, you have to watch this run, which scored a bonkers 94 from the judges and vaulted her into first place.

Look at how incredibly joyous Kim is after just nailing that run.

What a moment for Kim! The rest of the competition will have to step up to meet Kim’s score, as she has one more run left in this event.

9 Team USA Olympic champions looking to defend gold at the Beijing Winter Games

Go for gold! (Again!)

The United States won nine gold medals at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, fourth-most behind Norway (14), Germany (14) and Canada (11).

Team USA is in position to defend every one of those medals as the 2022 Olympics begin in Beijing, with the Opening Ceremony set for Friday, Feb. 4.

Five individual gold medalists return and four teams — all with returning members — are back to try to win it all once again. But it’s a lot to keep track of so we’re here to help.

Here’s a look at nine Team USA Olympic gold medalists looking to defend their titles four years later at the 2022 Beijing Winter Games.

See Chloe Kim get an outrageous amount of air on her latest dominant halfpipe win

Chloe Kim is unbelievable.

Snowboarding superstar Chloe Kim is favored to defend her Olympic championship from the 2018 Pyeongchang Games and win back-to-back gold medals in the women’s halfpipe. And her latest performance on Saturday — less than three weeks out from the 2022 Beijing Games’ Opening Ceremony — serves as another reminder of why.

In the four years since Kim won Olympic gold when she was just 17 years old, she took a 22-month break from snowboarding, but when she came back last year, she picked up right where she left off: winning.

And Saturday in the halfpipe final at the Laax Open in Switzerland, now-21-year-old Kim had a stunning performance to win her sixth straight contest since her return to her board. The only snowboarder in the final to earn more than 90 points — which she did on her first run at 90.25 — she dominated.

But in her first of two 1080s on this run, Kim got an outrageous amount of air, and it looked for a second like she could have flown over the rest of the halfpipe. She gets so much air on her first two moves, and it’s unbelievable.

Behind Kim, Japan’s Mitsuki Ono finished second with 89 points, and Spain’s Queralt Castellet was third with 80.

As the International Olympic Committee noted, she hasn’t lost a halfpipe World Cup competition she’s entered since the beginning of 2018. And clearly, she looks ready to defend her Olympic gold medal at the Beijing Games next month.

Chloe Kim was revealed on ‘The Masked Singer’ and hilariously called out Ken Jeong

Kim is a good singer!

This season of The Masked Singer already had a pair of athletes in costume who were revealed — Watchamacallit was New Orleans Pelicans guard Lonzo Ball and Baby Alien turned out to be former NFL QB Mark Sanchez.

Turns out there was another: Olympic gold medalist snowboarder Chloe Kim!

She turned out to be Jellyfish, which was revealed Wednesday night. Judge Ken Jeong nailed it, and what was even better was Kim informed the actor and comedian that she sent an Instagram two years ago to tell him how funny he was … and he never read it.

Kim is a terrific singer, as she proved this season:

There were some pretty awesome clues — there were four X’s on a Tic-Tac-Toe board to point to four X Games medals and a gold-piped throne (because she won gold on the halfpipe).
