After winning silver at back-to-back Olympics, Ayumu Hirano is finally a gold medalist.
The 22-year-old snowboarding star from Japan landed triple corks on all three of his runs, but it was his final one — the final run of the contest — that knocked Australia's Scotty James off the top of the leaderboard.
James secured a silver medal, while Switzerland's Jan Scherrer took the bronze. Shaun White finished just off the podium in fourth in his final Olympic competition.
