PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (AP) — It was a day for all ages at the Winter Olympics.
A few hours after 17-year-old Chloe Kim dominated the women's halfpipe snowboarding final on Tuesday, 28-year-old Marcel Hirscher, a six-time overall World Cup champion, won the men's combined at the Pyeongchang Games.
Four years after being too young to make the Olympic team in Sochi despite having the talent and scores to do so, Kim performed like a seasoned veteran in South Korea.
Kim put up a score of 93.75 on the first of her three finals runs and then topped that with a near-perfect 98.
