00:00Japan won gold at the men's snowboard half-pipe final on Friday at the Beijing Games.

00:06Hirano, who won silver at the Pyeongchang and Sochi Games, came out on top after he soared

00:12more than 5 metres to land triple corks on his final run, earning the top score of 96.

00:19Australian Scotty James took silver with 92.50 and Swiss Jan Scherer won bronze with 87.25.

00:28Entering the day, the triple cork was the most talked-about trick in snowboarding,

00:33as it was widely assumed that it would be necessary to win gold at the Olympics.

00:38Uyumu Hirano was the only rider who had landed the trick in a competition,

00:42but entering the day he had never landed a full run that included the trick.

00:47Proving that he had the trick on lock, Hirano was the only rider to even attempt the triple cork.

00:52He landed it on run 1 but fell on one of his other tricks.

00:57Then he bounced back on run 2, landing a full run that included the triple cork for the first time

01:03in his career. It wasn't enough for the first place though, as the judges placed him second behind

01:09James, who had previously landed a very technical run which included a switch backside 1,260 and

01:17double cork 1,440 on the first few hits. That left Hirano with one last attempt to break his streak of

01:25silver medals. With everything on the line, he dropped in and landed an even cleaner version

01:31of his run, and this time the judges gave him a massive score, a 96.00, to push him into the lead

01:39and onto the top step of the podium. Influenced by his father and older brother, Hirano started

01:45snowboarding and skateboarding at the age of 4 in his hometown of Murakami in Japan.

01:51At 14, the Japanese made his debut on the World Cup scene, and won a silver in the X Games in the

01:58half-pipe competition. He would make Japan's national team for Sochi 2014, but due to injury the teenager

02:06was unable to practice before the competition got underway. Despite the setback, Hirano still won the silver

02:13medal, becoming the youngest Japanese athlete to win a Winter Olympic medal in history.
