Alex Corridor’s first run was his greatest.

Corridor, a Park Metropolis resident and College of Utah scholar, gained the gold medal in slopestyle snowboarding with a rating of 90.01 on his first of three runs, one thing no competitor may prime all through the occasion.

Corridor’s run included a swap 270 grind on the rail part, then a double cork 1620 adopted by a pull-back 900 on the leap part — pulling again what would have been a double cork 1080 in midair to land going backwards. NBC announcer Tom Wallisch referred to as it a “pretzel rotation.”

It was the primary profession Olympic medal for Corridor.
