My father didn't want to ski alone, so he took me up to the mountains in order to basically bribe my mom to come with him.
Chloe Kim
I didn't really like snowboarding in the beginning. Now, I just love it. I'm in love with it.
It would be meaningful if I can get a gold medal in my parents' country.
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.'
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.
It's hard to describe my style. People will tell me that I'm really flowy.
I can play guitar - but I can't really. I wouldn't say I'm talented at it. I just kind of watch videos on YouTube, and I follow the instructions... OK, yeah, my hidden talent: I'm good at following instructions!
Snowboarding is a huge part of my life, but I also feel like it's important to have a plan B or a back-up plan for after my career because I can't snowboard for my whole life competitively.
I'm so happy to have all this support from everyone around the world, and I'm forever thankful for all of them.
You know, if you meet someone for the first time, they're not going to bite you.
I think I've started to have a lot more fun around snowboarding, even going out of the halfpipe and going to hit some jumps or getting some 'pow.' That definitely made it a lot more fun to me, just adding that much positivity into snowboarding.
I feel like I have this different opportunity that not a lot of athletes may have. It's the fact that I'm Korean-American, and the Olympics are going to be in Korea, but I'm also riding for the States. I feel like I got really lucky that it got all pieced together - my first Olympics, being in Korea where most of my family is.
I was really excited to land my first 1080. But I was surprised that it came a lot easier than I thought it would.
I have two aunts and three cousins in Korea as well.
I think the goal is always to be both. I put more effort into the technical side of my riding, but style is very important nowadays.
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.
The Olympics are just different. I'm not sure why; the pipe's the same size, the board you're riding is the same, you're competing against pretty much the same people. But the Olympics is the Olympics, and I know it's a really big deal.
Before I drop in, I tend to knock on my snowboard. You know how when you jinx yourself, they're like, 'Knock on wood.' My snowboard's wood, so in case I jinxed myself sometime in the past, I just knock on my board. It just makes me feel a lot more comfortable.
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.
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.
I think my riding has hopefully gotten a lot better, but I'm always trying to push myself.
I just grew up in the States, so I feel like I identify more with the American culture.
I think, every time I'm on the mountain, I'm just so thankful to be there.
When I was younger, me and my dad worked really hard. We did it the hard way.
