Arielle Gold was named to the U.S. Olympic half-pipe team and will get a chance to compete at the Pyeongchang Games four years after separating her shoulder during a training run in Sochi and never reaching the starting gate.
Chase Josey picked up the final spot on the men’s half-pipe team, thanks to his victory last weekend at the final qualifying event.
Shaun White, Ben Ferguson and Jake Pates had already clinched spots on the team, along with Chloe Kim and Kelly Clark.
Others on the snowboarding team include gold-medalist Jamie Anderson (slope-style) and Hailey Langland.
