One, two, three, four times backside 1440.
I don't know.
You soon in representing the Republic of Korea.
She really came out firing in qualities.
I think in kind of introduced herself on the Olympic stage
in a big way.
So very excited to see what she has for us tonight.
The regular footed rider.
Dropping in forward.
Yep, natural stance.
They're so sick.
One, two, three, four times backside 1440.
I don't know if I've seen her do that.
Wow with that's that's what we call authoritative.
That was just just she just said I'm here guys.
I'm not here to play around.
This is my first drop and I'm going to put it down not saying
she hasn't done that but I mean, she's a newer name on the
scene, but that back 14.
I don't know.
She's showing a little more excitement.
If that was a never been done trick for her.
It's definitely been done before but I just can't recall
seeing her put down a backside 1440 like this before.
I mean, it was beautiful.
Heck of a time to debut it in competition.
If this is the first time she's done it in comp in contest.
Excellent execution posed in the air locks in the mute grab.
She's rotating around like she's rotating around her head.
Keeping an eye on that landing.
It was exactly where she is and puts that down with authority.
The stoke is heavy.
That was the first one.
That's all look at that soon in an 87.75 as five points ahead
of our next scoring trick and she is in first place after her
first run.
Not bad.
I mean the pants to you know, look good feel good.
Play good.
They're dope.
They're super dope, you know props to that mental acuity
that these high-level snowboarders have to deal with it
is, you know, impressive and fine-tuned and we go back up

She's explosive.

Okay, let them know.
Wow.
Okay, a relative new name.
Yes on the scene.
She's been putting in a reps but still not quite the household
name yet, but that's all changing after this Olympics.
Exactly.
I mean, this is like this is this a heck of a debut.
She's been on the World Cup circuit for two seasons, but I
mean, she is I keep I can't it's just she's exploding onto
the scene.
It's like, you know, the riders do this too, or they really,
you know, make their name known in these consequential moments
and that's what soon in is doing locks in the frontside grab.
Off access once off access twice.
Off access three times a soon in for the triple cork frontside
1440 with that frontside grab held on.
Well, okay.
This is going to be a high score.
I think a cumulative high score because she has 87.75 or her
first jump.

Little flick of the snowboard little celebration at the bottom.
