South Korean snowboarder Lee Chaeun placed sixth in the men's halfpipe final at the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. Despite nailing a challenging frontside triple cork 1620 in his third run, he scored 87.50 points, falling short of the podium. Japan's Yuto Totsuka won gold with 95.00 points.
At the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, South Korea is pinning its snowboarding medal hopes on two teenagers in the halfpipe events. Seventeen-year-old Choi Gaon has won three straight FIS World Cup titles, emerging as a top contender, while 19-year-old Lee Chae-un holds a world championship and Youth Olympics golds. Their performances could mark a new chapter for South Korean snowboarding.
