US Winter Olympics 2018 GOLD medal winners (part 1) Picture 1: Jamie Anderson, women's snowboard slopestyle Team USA’s Jamie Anderson took home the gold in the 2018 Winter Games after she performed in less-than-perfect weather conditions. "I was trying to keep the spirits high, like, 'Let's run it,'" the 27-year-old athlete said, according to the Associated Press. "A handful of the girls were like, 'No, it's not safe,' and things like that. It's not like what we're doing is safe, anyhow." Picture 2: Red Gerard, men's snowboard slopestyle The conditions for the men’s snowboard slopestyle were less than ideal, but 17-year-old Red Gerard made it through the swirling winds to capture the United States’ first gold medal of the 2018 Olympics. Gerard reportedly overslept before his event because he stayed up too late watching Netflix and had to borrow his roommate’s jacket when he couldn’t find his. Still, Gerard, the underdog, overcame the odds and made it to the top of the podium with a score of 87.16. Picture 3: Chloe Kim, women's snowboard halfpipe At 17, Chloe Kim became the youngest woman to win an Olympic snowboarding gold medal during the Winter Games. Kim dominated two amazing runs on the women’s snowboard halfpipe, earning her the first place spot on the medal podium. Kim’s Olympic dreams were realized with a special family member cheering her on in person – her South Korean grandmother. Kim’s parents emigrated to the U.S. from South Korea, making her Olympic debut in Pyeongchang all the more special. Picture 4: Shaun White, men’s snowboard halfpipe Winning his third Olympic gold medal, snowboarder Shaun White made history in the 2018 Games as he scored America’s 100th Winter Games gold medal. “The Flying Tomato” is the first American male to win gold in three different Winter Games as well; he won his previous two medals in Turin in 2006 and Vancouver in 2010. White, 31, had a near perfect score of 97.75 on his final run on the halfpipe. He started off strong on his first run but fell on his second of three attempts. Picture 5: Mikaela Shiffrin, women's giant slalom Mikaela Shiffrin trailed the competition after her first ride down the slope, but powered through her final run to take the top time and win the women's giant slalom, earning her second career Olympic gold medal. The 22-year-old won her first gold medal at the 2014 Winter Olympics in the women’s slalom.      Honesty is the best policy. |
