Chloe Kim will try to become the first women's snowboard to win repeat Olympic titles.

American Chloe Kim, the defending gold medalist, is through to her second career Games final, but will not be joined by teammate Maddie Mastro.

Shaun White will have to wait at least one more week to get an inside track on a trip to his fifth Olympics after an eighth-place finish at the season’s first qualifying event.
