Just going to the Olympics would be a dream come true. I could finish last, and it would still be an amazing experience.

When I was younger, me and my dad worked really hard. We did it the hard way.

I'll be really tough on myself. Someone will be like, 'Oh that's really cool' and I'll be like, 'Yeah, but there's this one flaw.'
Chloe Kim -
The one thing I learned is to just give everything a shot. You don't want to live in regret.
Chloe Kim -
My dad is a very determined person.
Chloe Kim -
I love competing so much.
Chloe Kim -
I definitely have a lot of Korean-American fans, which is amazing.
Chloe Kim -
I'm so happy to have all this support from everyone around the world, and I'm forever thankful for all of them.

Being in a class with kids, meeting new people, and borrowing notes from other students - I've never done that before. I've always had to fend for myself.
Chloe Kim -
I freak out when I see a spider. I was doing an interview once, and there was this really big, furry spider crawling up the tripod, and I was like, 'I can't do this!'
Chloe Kim -
It would be meaningful if I can get a gold medal in my parents' country.
Chloe Kim -
I always try to see it in positive way, like, you know what, the people that are expecting so much about of me know I can do it and believe in me. So I just kind of think about it like that. And it makes me feel a little better.
Chloe Kim -
I'm much more of a city girl. I like the mall. I like shopping.
Chloe Kim -
I have two aunts and three cousins in Korea as well.

I did my first contest, and I got third, and my dad was, like, 'Wow, she has potential.' And I went back when I was 7, and I won. And my dad's like, 'All right,' and then he dropped everything.
Chloe Kim -
I feel like I can represent both countries, in a way, because I have a Korea face, but I was born and raised in the States.
Chloe Kim -
My dad has definitely sacrificed a lot for me, and I don't know if I could do it if I was in his shoes. Leaving your life behind and chasing this dream because your kid is passionate about this sport.
Chloe Kim -
Hopefully I get to do more than one Olympics in my lifetime.
Chloe Kim -
I didn't really like snowboarding in the beginning. Now, I just love it. I'm in love with it.
Chloe Kim -
I feel like I have this unique opportunity to represent both Korea and the U.S.

I think, you know, if you're young - even if you're old, it doesn't matter how old you are - but if you find something that you really want to try, just give it a try.
Chloe Kim -
I grew up in Southern California. If it's snowing on a day I'm supposed to train, I'll just stare out the window in all my gear and be like, 'Hmmm, maybe not today.' I hate being cold.
Chloe Kim -
I think my riding has hopefully gotten a lot better, but I'm always trying to push myself.
Chloe Kim -
Honestly, I didn't like snowboarding when I was a little girl. As I got older, it became something I did with my dad. When I was 10, I knew I was good for my age, but I never felt that I was prodigy-level or anything like that.
