Chaeun Lee, aka “Lil Keytaki,” made Olympic history in Italy as the first athlete to land the world’s first triple cork 1620 in competition during the men’s finals. This is a trick he first learned at age 16 during training at Saas Fee, Switzerland following the Beijing 2022 Olympics. He also became the first rider to land back-to-back triple corks, also in training.
The two-time Olympian is also the 2024 Youth Olympic gold medalist in both halfpipe and slopestyle. Already sharing podiums with the likes of Ayumu and Yuto Totsuka, Lee is on a fierce upward trajectory.
Chaeun Lee finished in 6th place at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics.
