Choi Ga-on (Sehwa Girls' High School), who was like a "movie," was selected as one of the best scenes in the first half of the 2026 Milan/Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics.

The Athletic, which specializes in sports, selected seven of the best scenes from the first half of the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics on the 16th (local time).

It also included a scene where Choi Ga-on won the women's halfpipe gold medal for snowboarding.Choi Ga-on scored 90.25 points in the women's halfpipe final at the Lvigno Snowpark in Italy on the 13th, beating his idol Chloe Kim (88.00 points in the United States).

With this, Choi Ga-on wrote a new history of the first Winter Olympics gold medal in Korean ski and snowboarding history. Choi Ga-on, who was born in November 2008, also broke Chloe Kim's record for the youngest gold medal in the event (17 years and 10 months) at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games.

The story of winning the gold medal was like a movie. Choi Ga-on slipped heavily during the first period, which began under unfavorable conditions of heavy snow, and could not get up for a while. Fortunately, he came down on his own, wiping away tears, but he fell in the second period as if he had an abnormality in his physical condition. However, he won in the final third period, succeeding in all his skills.

The Athletic described the process as "the most competitive drama."

Meanwhile, Ilya Malinin (U.S.), who was the favorite to win the men's single figure skating competition, was in a slump. "It is the most shocking disappointment," the media said. Malinin only finished eighth after falling twice in the free skate.

In addition, Lindsey Vonn's injury, favorable broadcast video using drones, ski jumpers' genital enlargement happening, Norwegian biathlon Sturla Holm Legrade's confession of the wind, and Canadian women's ice hockey team Marie Philippe Pauline's injury absence were listed in the main scenes.
