14-year-old Chloe Kim won a gold medal in women’s snowboard superpipe Saturday night in Aspen, becoming the youngest athlete to win a gold medal in Winter X Games history. Kim needed to beat Kelly Clark’s score of a 90 to vault into first, and she absolutely nailed her final run, landing two 900s after wiping out in her final practice run and scraping her face.

Kim’s final run earned a score of 92, ending Clark’s streak of five consecutive golds.
