Snowboarding at the 2022 Winter Olympics – Women's halfpipe
Snowboarding event at the 2022 Winter Olympics
The women's halfpipe competition in snowboarding at the 2022 Winter Olympics was held on 9 February (qualification) and 10 February (final), at the Genting Snow Park in Zhangjiakou.[1] Chloe Kim of the United States won the event, defending her 2018 title. Queralt Castellet of Spain won the silver medal and Sena Tomita of Japan the bronze, the first Olympic medals for both of them.
The 2018 silver medalist, Liu Jiayu, qualified at the Olympics, but the bronze medalist, Arielle Gold, did not qualify. At the 2021–22 FIS Snowboard World Cup, only three halfpipe events were held before the Olympics. Cai Xuetong were leading the ranking, followed by Tomita and Mitsuki Ono. Kim was the 2021 world champion, with Maddie Mastro and Castellet being the silver and bronze medalists, respectively. Kim was also the 2021 X-Games winner in super-pipe, ahead of Mastro and Haruna Matsumoto.
