The results are in for the newest Olympic event: big air. In this event, snowboarders use a giant ramp to launch high into the air and perform complicated spins and twists—called tricks—before landing. The 49-meter (160-foot) tall ramp in in Pyeongchang is the tallest big air ramp ever built! Because the ramp is so long, atheltes have a lot of time to spin and flip.
Snowboarding tricks are named for the number of rotations athletes make in the air. For example, during the men's qualifications, many riders performed a triple cork 1440. Athletes spun four times in the air while flipping head over heels three times!
