‘Snowboarding prodigy’ Choi Ga-on (Sehwa Girls’ Middle School) achieved the feat of reaching the top in her debut competition at the International Ski Federation (FIS) Snowboard World Cup.

Ga-on Choi won the gold medal with a score of 92.75 in the women's halfpipe finals of the 2023-24 season FIS Snowboard World Cup held in Copper Mountain, Colorado, USA on the 17th (Korean time).

Gaon Choi, born in 2008, made her FIS World Cup debut through this tournament, and she immediately rose to the top, heralding the emergence of a new powerhouse in her.

It has been two years since 'Cabbage Boy' Lee Sang-ho (Nexen), who set Korea's first record by taking first place in the Alpine Men's Parallel Giant Slalom at the Snowboard World Cup in December 2021

Choi Ga-on, who took first place with 96.00 points in the preliminaries two days ago and advanced to the finals where the top eight competed, beat One Mitsuki (Japan) by 2.75 points in the finals that day. Third place is Maddie Mastro (USA) with 88.25 points.

Ohno is a player who passed the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics preliminaries in second place and took 9th place in the finals, and Mastro is also a strong player who ranked 4th in the qualifiers and 12th in the finals at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.

Halfpipe is an Olympic sport in which athletes perform aerial performances such as turns and jumps on a semi-cylindrical slope and are judged by judges.

Ga-on Choi reached the top of the women's halfpipe division at the FIS Junior World Championships in March 2022, and in January of this year

she set the record as the youngest ever winner of the superpipe division at the X Games of the U.S. Extreme Sports Competition

Her previous record was 14 years and 9 months set by Chloe Kim (USA), a Korean athlete who won two consecutive Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang and Beijing, but Choi Ga-on changed it to 14 years and 3 months.

Choi Ga-on predicted a sensation ahead of his debut at the 2023-24 FIS World Cup, including becoming the youngest winner of the U.S. Dew Tour Superpipe in February this year.

Choi Ga-on expressed his thoughts through his management company All That Sports, saying, “I am happy to win my first World Cup.

I thought I would do better in the second run, so I got good results.” Lee Chae-un (Suri High School)

who participated in the men's halfpipe event at the FIS Snowboard World Cup held at the same venue, scored 80.00 points in the final and won a silver medal.

Lee Chae-woon won two consecutive competitions after winning a bronze medal at the World Cup held in China earlier this month.

Beijing Winter Olympics champion Ayumu Hirano (Japan), who received 91.00 points, won the gold medal. Choi Ga-on and Lee Chae-un, members of the Lotte Ski & Snowboard Team

the president of the Korean Ski Association, are expected to be medal prospects at the 2024 Gangwon-do Winter Youth Olympics as well as the 2026 Milan Cortina d'Ampezzo Winter Olympics.
