Lee Chae-woon scored the highest score among the seven finalists (one abstained) in the snowboarding slopestyle final of the competition held at Yaburi Ski Resort in Heilongjiang Province, China on the 8th, with a high score of 90 in the first to third periods. Lee Chae-woon, who finished second (89.50 points) among 18 players in the preliminary round after Yang Wenlong (93.25 points) of China, showed his everything in the final round without hesitation.
A rough situation in which game time continues to be delayed due to bad weather caused by strong winds. In the first period, Lee Chae-woon rose to first place with 81.25 points for his easy performance without mistakes. Chinese rival Yang Wenlong, who was last on the starting line after Lee Chae-woon, made a fatal mistake on the last course, perhaps due to nervousness. It was only 67.25 points. During the second period, he fell on the second landing and received Does Not Improv (DNI). Yang Wenlong also received a DNI for his lack of acting in the second period compared to the first period.
In the final third period, Lee Chae-woon calmly clapped and assured himself of victory after completing a 1440-degree triple-cock (a dream skill of three laps diagonally in the air, one lap horizontally, and four laps (1440 degrees) in total). He accepted a high score of 90 points. Finally, Yang Wenlong failed to land, leaving the DNI and eventually the medal table, and Lee Chae-woon's gold medal was confirmed. Kang Dong-hoon, who did his best, won the bronze medal with 74.000 points.
'K-Going' Lee Chae-woon stood tall at the highest point in the Asian Games, his first appearance. Following Lee Seung-hoon's first gold medal in ski freestyle, his first gold medal came out in snowboarding.
Lee Chae-woon, who was born in 2006, won the 2023 International Ski Federation (FIS) World Championship Snowboard Men's Halfpipe with the youngest record (16 years and 10 months), becoming the first Korean ski and snowboarding world championship winner. He is a two-time winner of the 2024 Gangwon Youth Winter Olympics (hereinafter referred to as Gangwon 2024) Slopestyle-Halfpipe. Easy to digest the 1620-degree backside 'Strong Heart' reminds me of Lee Chae-woon when I think of snowboarding" had delivered an imposing wish. He targeted the halfpipe gold medal, the main event of this competition, but decided to participate in the slopestyle just before the competition. Slope style is an event that scores and ranks according to standards such as height, rotation, technique, and difficulty on a course consisting of various objects and jump stands, and halfpipe is an event that freely performs aerial performances by moving from side to side on the inclined semi-cylindrical slope. There was no opponent in the slopestyle either.
A year before his first stardom, Lee Chae-woon drew attention with his "Son Heung-min resemblance" at the Gangwon 2024 site. He looks exactly like Son when he was a teenager. In an interview with the organizing committee, he also talked about 'Son Heung-min'. "What's your personality? Son Heung-min"What's your hobby or specialty? Who do you want to meet in 'Football, Surfing Board'? What's your life mentor or wannabe? 'Son Heung-min' What about Lee Chae-woon in 10 years? How would you describe your life in 3 words? He expressed infinite affection for Son Heung-min, snowboard, Lee Chae-woon, etc. 'Role model' Asked if Son Heung-min is an idol after winning two gold medals at the time, Lee Chae-woon said, `I want to become a world-class player like Son Heung-min. I want to be such a famous player not only in Asia but also in the world" had revealed a dream. A dream is becoming a reality. In his first Asian Games, a year before the 2026 Milan Olympics, Lee Chae-woon flew the highest.
