The king still reigns but if there's a succession plan in place, Matt Graham may just be the man for the job.
Graham became Australia's first medallist of the 2018 Winter Olympics when he took silver behind the sport's undisputed leader, Mikael Kingsbury of Canada.
Beating the Quebecois was always going to be an ask - he is after all the most successful moguls skier of all time with 48 wins and six consecutive World Cup titles.
Last week Graham, 23, said he could win.
And on Monday night he skied like he believed it.
Taking smooth lines and landing deft tricks off the jumps all night, he showed enormous consistency to push through the first two finals in second and fourth.
Kingsbury offered some cause for hope - his normally sublime turns just a touch off as he eventually moved into the six-man decider as the No.2 skier behind Japan's Daichi Hara.
Third down the 250m bumps course, Graham delivered up his best run of the night, finishing with an off-axis 1080 and fist pump that suggested against almost any other skier he was a real gold medal show.
But not against Kingsbury.
He blew everyone away with a 86.63 run, leaving Graham to admit: "No one can do it like he can."
Hara skied last and finished in third with 82.19.
"It's been such a long year, I just wanted to have fun and feel loose and be able to put it down where it counts," Graham said.
"It's a lot of hard years come to fruition.
