She was already good enough at age 13. Now, four years later, she's old enough, and the favorite to win a gold medal in PyeongChang.

17-year-old Chloe Kim will be representing the U.S. Olympic snowboarding team in South Korea in 2018.

Friday in Breckenridge, Kim won her second straight qualifier in the snowboard halfpipe.

In 2014, the young star ranked high enough to qualify, but wasn't old enough to compete at the Winter Games.

Now, she'll have that opportunity this February.

For her incredible performance, Chloe Kim was an easy choice for our "Peak Moment" in sports Friday night.
