Chloe Kim, Maddie Mastro make history with double cork 1080s at Laax Open Chloe Kim and Maddie Mastro became the first women to land a double cork 1080 in snowboard halfpipe competition during a US one-two finish at the Laax Open on Saturday in Switzerland.
Kim, the first woman to win two Olympic golds in halfpipe, secured her fifth Laax Open title with a standout performance, earning a score of 96.50 on her first run that included a cab double cork 1080.
The Laax Open also marked the first US one-two finish in a World Cup snowboard halfpipe since Kim and Mastro achieved it at the 2018 Copper Mountain Grand Prix.
Mastro followed with an impressive score of 94.50 for a second-place finish, landing a frontside double cork 1080 to join Kim in the record books.
Kim’s victory is her first since the 2023 Winter X Games, where she landed the first-ever 1260 in women’s halfpipe competition.
