Chloe Kim, the Olympic snowboarding champion, celebrated a silver medal finish in the women's halfpipe finals in Livigno, Italy, expressing joy despite not winning gold. This unexpected reaction stemmed from a recent shoulder injury that threatened her participation in the Milano Cortina Games.
Kim's silver medal, won Thursday night, may hold more significance for her than the gold medals she secured in PyeongChang in 2018 and Beijing four years ago, according to Time. "I mean, a month ago, I wasn't even sure if I would be here," Kim stated, reflecting on her recovery from a dislocated left shoulder suffered in early January, as reported by Time.
News sources, including Time, highlighted Kim's performance alongside other significant events, such as the re-emergence of the Lumma infostealer malware targeting Windows, challenges posed by agentic AI for SaaS companies, and Apple's macOS update addressing a window-resizing issue. Other major stories included political debates, international conflicts like the Russia-Ukraine war, and developments in technology and the cryptocurrency market, as well as the end of a US immigration enforcement surge in Minnesota.
Kim's participation in the Olympics was uncertain due to her injury. After finishing first in qualifying earlier in the week, it seemed she had overcome the effects of the injury. However, her jubilant reception of the silver medal at the Milano Cortina Games made perfect sense, according to Time.
