American pro snowboarder Chloe Kim continued to display her dominance in the halfpipe event this year, winning gold at the World Championships in St. Moritz, Switzerland, to secure a spot at the 2026 Milan Olympics. In the 25-26 season, despite her qualification for the Games, she competed at the World Cup halfpipe opener at Copper Mountain, Colorado, where she finished fourth.
With her sights set on the upcoming Olympics in February 2026, Kim is dedicating herself to training and recovery, while also cherishing moments with loved ones like her boyfriend, NFL star Myles Garrett.
Message Chloe Kim Sent To Myles Garrett For His Birthday
Kim and Garrett made their relationship public in November, sharing a kiss on the sidelines before a Cleveland Browns game against the Raiders. While Garrett shone as a defensive end for the Browns, the team faced a tough season, ultimately finishing last in the AFC North.
When Garrett turned 30 on December 29, Kim marked the occasion by posting a photo of him on a boat to her story, adding a heartfelt message: “Birthday boy!!! ❤️,” she wrote.
Kim is set to make her third Olympic appearance in Milan, aiming to add to her already glittering legacy. She claimed her first gold at just 17 in PyeongChang 2018, becoming the youngest female Olympic halfpipe champion, and then made history by defending her title in Beijing 2022 as the first woman to win back-to-back golds in the event.
Kim Reveals Her Love For Gaming Ahead Of Milan Olympics
Kim burst onto the snowboarding scene at just 14, becoming the youngest athlete to win a Winter X Games superpipe gold in Aspen during the 2014-15 season. Her electrifying performance at the 2018 Winter Olympics cemented her status as a global star, and she now enters Milan as a top contender for gold.
With the Milan Games approaching, Kim shared the hobby that has kept her energized and entertained during her downtime:
“I think having a love for gaming is everything to me and who I am because I think it allows me to just entertain my younger self, and it’s just so fun. My best friend, Austin… he definitely is the most competitive person, I think. But even my boyfriend, he’s so good at video games,” she said, as per Olympics.com.
Kim revealed that her passion for gaming blossomed soon after she fell in love with snowboarding, and she looks forward to some fierce gaming battles with her family while in Italy.
