The 2022 Winter Olympics cemented Chloe Kim as the female face of both snowboarding and action sports when she became the first female in history to win back-to-back Olympic Gold Medals in halfpipe snowboarding.

After being accepted to Princeton University, Kim took the 2019-20 season off from competing to focus on her education. Returning in January 2021 after a 20-month hiatus from snowboarding competition, Kim continued her dominance of the sport, winning all four women’s superpipe events in the 2020- 21 season including her sixth X Games gold medal and her second World Championship.

Kim has had just as much success off the mountain as she's had on it. She has been featured on Forbes 30 under 30 list, TIME’s 100 list, and TIME’s 30 Most Influential Teens list (three years in a row), as well as the cover of Time Magazine, Shape Magazine, Sports Illustrated, Sports Illustrated Kids, and ESPN Magazine. She also had an appearance in a Maroon 5 video and the Charlie’s Angels reboot.

Additionally, Kim has taken home five ESPY Awards, she was honored with the “Daring to Disrupt” award at the 2022 Glamour Women of the Year Awards, she has received three Nickelodeon Kids Choice Sports Awards, two Laureus World Sports Awards, and has been recognized for her positive impact in the Asian American community. Kim, whose parents emigrated from Korea, now lives in Los Angeles.
