Chloe Kim made history yesterday at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, when she became the youngest woman to ever win a gold medal in snowboarding. The 17-year-old Californian athlete won with a final score of 98.25, after her first lap (which scored 93.75) had already placed her above the rest of the competition. Viewers at home may have noticed that Kim plugged in earbuds before each of her runs; according to ESPN, she was listening to Migos and Lady Gaga. Kim told ESPN that she remembers her first run was soundtracked by Gaga’s “Paparazzi,” while her victory lap run was completed to “MotorSport,” featuring Cardi B and Nicki Minaj.

Elsewhere in Olympic snowboarding, Slovenian contender Tit Stante showed his support for Meek Mill by scrawling the message “#FreeMeekMill” on his board and displaying it for the cameras following a qualifying run.
