Winter Olympics: Chloe Kim,Marcel Hirscher win gold on eventful day

American teenager Chloe Kim and Austrian ski ace Marcel Hirscher triumphantly lit up the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics yesterday as the Games were hit by their first doping scandal. Seventeen-year-old Kim snatched a stunning gold medal in the women's halfpipe snowboarding, while Hirscher's long hunt for an Olympic title finally ended. 

In the first doping case of the 2018 Games, 21-year-old short-track speed skater Kei Saito became the only Japanese ever to test positive at a



Winter Olympics.

Austrian star Hirscher bagged an emotional Olympic gold at the age of 28 when he produced a brilliant slalom run to storm to a victory in the men's alpine combined. 

For Chloe Kim, her debut Olympics turned golden as she romped to snowboarding halfpipe victory. The teenager, who has melted the hearts of home fans in Pyeongchang, justified her status as the hot favourite with an eye-popping top score of 98.25.
