Ayumu Hirano won Olympic gold in the halfpipe with a performance that included a ground-breaking triple cork — three head-over-heels spins while twisting above the pipe.
A runner-up at the last two Winter Games, Hirano kept his composure even as the sparse crowd booed the lower score. The fans on hand weren’t alone.2018 bronze medalist Arielle Gold.
Back at the top for the final run — after James didn’t improve on his score — Hirano, as the last rider of the competition, executed the same run from earlier to near perfection. His score came up. A big mess was averted. Hirano, whose second-place run in Pyeongchang fell 2.5 points short of White even though it included the same combo of back-to-back 1440 spins, found himself in position for a third silver medal before coming up big.
