Olympics Chloe Kim.

Chloe Kim’s journey to a third Olympic gold is facing unexpected challenges. A shoulder injury during training has left her scrambling to prepare for the Milan Cortina Games. Kim, known for her impressive tricks, is unsure if she’ll be at full strength for the halfpipe event. She expressed disappointment about not being able to snowboard until just before the Olympics. Despite her achievements, including eight Winter X Games golds and three world championships, the pressure to perform remains. Her coach, Rick Bower, notes that fame has made snowboarding feel more like a job. Kim aims to rediscover her love for the sport while facing fierce competition from athletes like Gaon Choi and Sena Tomita.
