Overview
- Kim is scheduled for women's halfpipe qualifying on Wednesday at 4:30 a.m. ET and the final on Thursday at 1:30 p.m. ET, with coverage on NBC, USA Network and Peacock.
- She dislocated her shoulder in January and said she tore her labrum; she returned to snowboarding recently, is riding with a brace and reported her shoulder feels good heading into the event.
- Kalshi assigns Kim about a 55% chance to win gold, with Choi at roughly 36%, making them the clear top two in the market ahead of qualifying.
- Choi, 17, enters in strong form after three consecutive World Cup halfpipe wins this season and previously broke Kim’s record as the youngest X Games halfpipe champion.
- No snowboarder has ever won three straight Olympic golds in any event; Shaun White is the only snowboarder with three Olympic golds overall, achieved across nonconsecutive Games.
