Choi Ga-on (18, Sehwa Girls' High School), who won the gold medal in the women's halfpipe at the 2026 Milan/Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics, announced her new ambition four years later.
Choi Ga-on attended a media day held at Olympic Parktel Seoul Hall in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 9th to convey the current situation and future goals after the Olympics.
According to a Newsis report, Choi spent a busy time after returning from Milan, saying, "I've been really busy after winning the gold medal. "I think I felt more real as I experienced something I hadn't done before," he said.
The daily life of a teenage girl who became an Olympic hero has changed significantly. Choi Gaon said, "Even when I went to a cafe with my friends, I was surprised because they recognized me a lot. He said, "It's a happy thing to receive a lot of attention," but added, "The bad thing is that I don't like my friends because I'm afraid they'll be photographed together."
The most memorable moments were national hospitality and meeting with K-pop groups. He said, "I remember going to Cheong Wa Dae the most. Also, watching the K-pop group Cortis was the most memorable moment in my life. When I met him, I couldn't speak well because I was embarrassed," he added.
I also had time with my long-awaited friends. Choi Gaon said, "I had a pajama party at my friend's house from the next day after returning home, and it was really fun," adding, "I ate tteokbokki and malatang." I ate a lot of Dubai Chewy Cookie, so I think it's time to get tired of it," he said, showing an easygoing side.
Although he has reached the top, his eyes are already facing the next high point. "I want to be remembered as the best snowboarder in the world," Choi Gaon said. "I want to ride better than the board skills I ride now. Because I'm still young and have a lot of time, I don't decide on a specific technology, and I want to increase the difficulty of the current technology a little more."


He once again mentioned Chloe Kim, who competed in this Olympics as a role model. Choi Gaon said, "Chloe is mentally cool in every way as a player. Riding the board on both feet is similar to mine. I really respect you," he said. Among the male players, he said he likes Japan's Yuto Totsuka.
Currently recovering from his injury, he plans to stabilize for the time being. Choi Ga-on said, "I'm getting better because I'm getting treated and recovering," adding, "I don't think I'll go to the tournament this season because of my injury, but I'll go to training camp in the U.S. in the summer. In summer camp, I don't ride a board for a while and then ride it, so my goal is to get a feel and ride it safely," he explained.
Finally, Choi Ga-on said to his contemporary youth, "Teenage is the youth and I think I can do a lot of things I can do. I want to convey a message of support that if I don't give up to the end, everything will come true."
