At just 14-years-old, Korean American professional snowboarder Chloe Kim showed fellow competitors that age is just a number on Saturday.

Kim won the Women’s Snowboard Superpipe competition in Aspen, edging out the 31-year-old fellow American Kelly Clark.

Clark entered the competition hoping to win the Winter X Games event for the fifth year in a row.

Kim had gotten into an accident during a practice run before the official competition, which resulted in a chipped tooth and a cut on her face.

“My face kind of hurts right now,” Kim told ESPN reporters when asked how she felt after her winning run.

She has been snowboarding since she was four and had not even been born yet when Clark made her Winter X Games debut.

Regardless, Clark seems more than okay to give up the title as long as it’s to the right person.

“In years to come, I’ll be able to look at women’s snowboarding and know that not only is it in good hands, but it’s in the hands of someone I’m proud of,” Clark said of Kim according to USA Today.
