On the routine that clinched his second straight Olympic half-pipe gold, his amplitude - the term snowboarders use to describe the aerial distance they fly off the 22-ft. half-pipe - far exceeded that of the other competitors. He executed back-to-back double corks (two flips and three body revolutions, like a corkscrew) on his winning run.
