Hopefully I get to do more than one Olympics in my lifetime.

Zendaya - she's a boss - and Rihanna as well. I feel like those are two very powerful women.
Chloe Kim -
I was, like, talking to these kids, and I look up, and there was, like, 25 cameras around me. And I ran. I ran away. I, like, straight up ran away, and I was so scared, and then, like, it happened, and after I was done, it kinda sunk in.
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.
Chloe Kim -
Over the years, I've hurt my thumb, separated my shoulder, and injured my back, but not too bad. Actually, my back was hurt pretty bad. I had to take an ambulance and was in bed for a week.
Chloe Kim -
Snowboarding brought me out of my shell.
Chloe Kim -
I try not to feel pressure, because I feel like it kind of throws you off. I always try to focus on myself. But it does kind of creep into the back of my mind.

-
I've flown from Aspen and then to Switzerland the next day and then off again the day after. That's the thing I love most about snowboarding, honestly - getting to travel and explore different places and meet people.
Chloe Kim -
People ask where I'm from, and I say 'Los Angeles.' Then they ask again. 'Well, my parents are from Korea.'
Chloe Kim -
I love Chipotle. And I'm not just saying that. Like, I genuinely am in love with Chipotle.
Chloe Kim -
I was very shy. It was kind of scary to meet new people.
Chloe Kim -
It's such an honor to just represent the U.S. in the country where my parents immigrated from, and just this whole process has been amazing, and this journey has been so fun and full of so many memories that I will hold on to for the rest of my life.
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
-
If my hands get cold, I'll go inside to warm them up and basically never come back out. I'm a little wimp.
Chloe Kim -
It's a pretty crazy adrenaline rush because I feel like every run is different. You can never really expect anything. It's like a new adventure every time you drop into the pipe.
Chloe Kim -
If you give me fro-yo without mangoes, you're dead to me. If you say that Hawaiian pizza is gross, we're done.
Chloe Kim -
I got mail from a prison once.
Chloe Kim -
I'm so used to America, used to the traffic in L.A., and I don't really feel it click with the Korean culture. But obviously, I have a Korean face, and I feel like that's just - you know, I can't walk around people like I'm, like, straight-up American. It's like, I'm Korean American. My parents are from Korea.
Chloe Kim -
Competing in my first Olympics in the country where my parents came from is pretty insane. I'm feeling nothing but excitement.
Chloe Kim
-
I knew if I went home with the gold medal knowing that I could do better, I wasn't going to be very satisfied.
Chloe Kim -
To me, snowboarding is really an art form, and I think every athlete, every snowboarder has her own style, and that makes them stand out.
Chloe Kim -
I'm, like, finishing up high school. I don't know how you can learn anything from me because I'm still, like, a teenager. I don't know what I'm doing with my life.
Chloe Kim -
I don't get butterflies. I get a good feeling in my stomach before I compete. When I don't, I get worried.
