The women's bronze went to Funa Nakayama of Japan.
The event was celebrated as a win for women by many of the 20 competitors.
The field included Leticia Bufoni of Brazil, whose board was snapped in two by her dad when she was a kid to try to stop her from skating. There was a Canadian, Annie Guglia, who didn't see any other girls skate during her first two years on her board.
And there were plenty of others for whom the Olympic competition felt like a light at the end of a long tunnel.
"It's going to change the whole game," U.S. skater Mariah Duran said. "This is like opening at least one door to, you know, many skaters who are having the conversations with their parents, who want to start skating.
