Meet Chloe Kim, Olympic Snowboarder

By: Samantha Covone

Chloe Kim is proving that age is nothing but a number. The twenty-two year old snowboarder has already competed in two Olympic Games, winning gold in both of them. Kim has made history multiple times. Starting at the age of seventeen, she became the youngest woman to win an Olympic gold medal in the snowboarding halfpipe at the 2018 Winter Olympics. Most recently, Kim competed in her second consecutive Olympic Games in Beijing, winning her second gold medal. This broke another record as she is now the first female snowboarder to win back to back medals after competing in the snowboarding halfpipe.

Chloe Kim has proved that she belongs, even at her young age. In 2018, at the age of seventeen, she won three ESPY awards and was named one of Time Magazine’s ‘100 Most Influential People’. She has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated, on a box of Corn Flakes, and has her own Barbie doll. Along with this, Kim was on the competition show ‘The Masked Singer’ and in the video game ‘Fortnite’.

Overall, Chloe Kim is a name that people know from her snowboarding Olympic accomplishments or her pop culture features. This twenty-two year old certainly has a bright future. Some could even argue that she is just getting started.
