BEIJING, China — The United States claimed the top two spots on the podium in ski slopestyle at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.
American skier Alex Hall scored a 90.1 to take the gold, while a Nick Goepper scored a 85.48 that was good enough for silver.
Hall's first run secured the top spot with strong maneuver on the last jump, pulling back a right double cork 1080 into a 900, the equivalent of a pretzel in the air.
The 23-year-old who was born in Alaska, grew up in Switzerland and now lives in Utah.
He earned bronze at the 2021 world championships and another bronze last month at Winter X Games.
