Chloe Kim (26, USA), a Korean-American snowboard star who is familiar to Korean fans by winning the youngest gold medal at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, will participate in the 2026 Milan-Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics. He is aiming for the third consecutive gold medal in a single snowboard event for the first time in history.

The official website of the Olympics highlighted on the 31st (Korea Standard Time) that "Khloe Kim is ready to emerge as a star in Lvigno, where snowboarding and freestyle skiing events at the Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo are held."

According to the Olympic channel, Livigno has perfect snowfall in recent years. Following this, the heat of the competition is rising due to the Olympic torch relay event. Here, Chloe Kim will challenge the record of three consecutive Olympic sub-sport events, which even legendary Sean White failed to achieve.

Chloe Kim became the youngest gold medalist in the women's halfpipe at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games when she was 17. In the 2022 Beijing Games, he also won the gold medal and achieved his second consecutive victory. He was also on the list of athletes to watch this Olympics selected by "Britanniker," proving his still-anticipation.

But there was also pain behind the spectacular success. U.S. media 'CBS Sports' reported in February 2022 that "Chloe Kim suffered from severe anxiety symptoms and depression after the PyeongChang Olympics."

"I hated my life at the time," he said in an interview at the time, "I was so scared that people recognized me and I was in a panic." In the end, I threw the Olympic gold medal into the trash."

Chloe Kim wasn't the only thing that bothered her. The jealousy, harassment, and stalker issues of teammates overlapped. Chloe Kim said, "Burnout came and I couldn't play anymore. I felt trapped in the dark," he said. Eventually, in 2019, Chloe Kim left the snowboarding world and went on to Princeton University as if she were fleeing.

Chloe Kim, who went back to being an ordinary student and received psychotherapy, returned to the top of the world. Chloe Kim won her second consecutive title as if to show at the 2022 Beijing Olympics after saying, "I found peace by taking out the pain I had hidden deep in my heart."

Chloe Kim, who recently shook off her shoulder injury, is aiming for her third consecutive Olympic victory at this year's event.

Meanwhile, in addition to Chloe Kim, Czech Ester Ledetska (Czech Republic) and Austria's Anna Gagar (Austria) will try to win three consecutive events. Chinese and U.S. multiple nationalities freestyle ski star Gu Ailing (China) is also on a new medal hunt.
