. The truly wild skill — which has been a regular feature in slopestyle for some time — helped earn Hirano his first Olympic gold.
The triple cork requires a snowboarder to flip three times in the air while rotating diagonally. The"triple" part refers to the number of off-axis flips; the skill's name is followed by a number that indicates the number of degrees an athlete rotated in the air. A triple cork 1080, for instance, would involve three flips and three rotations, while a 1440 would have a whopping four rotations.
