Kim's Silver: Olympic Loss, Joyful Win

Chloe Kim, the U.S. snowboarder, saw her dreams of a historic Olympic three-peat dashed by her teenage protégé at the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics in Livigno, Italy, on Thursday, but she celebrated her silver medal with unbridled joy. Kim, who had previously won gold in the women's halfpipe at the 2018 PyeongChang and 2022 Beijing Olympics, was competing with a torn labrum.

Kim's quest for a third consecutive gold was thwarted by her protégé, though the specific name of the winning athlete was not mentioned in the provided sources. Despite the loss, Kim's reaction to the silver medal was one of jubilance. According to Time, "Kims victories at the Olympics are typically inevitable." However, this time, the silver medal seemed to hold a special significance.

Kim's participation in the games was uncertain just a month prior due to a dislocated left shoulder suffered in early January, according to Time. "I mean, a month ago, I wasn't even sure if I would be here," Kim said, according to Time, highlighting the significance of her achievement.

The competition took place in Livigno, Italy, during the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. The event saw Kim, her protégé, and Mitsuki Ono celebrating with their medals, as captured in a photograph. The event was covered by NPR News, which also noted the behind-the-scenes coverage available through their newsletter, "Rachel Goes to the Games."
