Halfpipe
There are several 2022 Beijing Olympians from SoCal, but today we are only going to talk about two of them.
Chloe Kim of Torrance
Chloe won the gold in 2018 and going for back to back gold medals on women's halfpipe.
Yes, she won and no one was even close. She will be back for multiple more olympics if she so chooses.
Shaun White of Los Angeles
Shaun, competing in his fifth and last winter olympics and he was going for a fourth gold medal.
He went out in style and fought to the end. Triple gold medalist in the men's halfpipe, Shaun fell on his third run and failed to get a higher score. He ended up just out of a medal, in fourth place.
When he started competing in his first olympics in 2006, he was the youngest, in 2022 he was the oldest. As Shaun is exiting the games, Chloe is just at her peak.
