LIVIGNO, Italy (AP) --- Chloe Kim fell short in her bid to become the first
Olympic snowboarder to win three consecutive gold medals, finishing second to
Choi Gaon of South Korea in the women's halfpipe on Thursday.

runs. The 25-year-old American took silver, while Japan's Mitsuki Ono claimed
bronze.
