"Kim said on her Instagram page that she was trying to stay really optimistic, but trying to stay positive through these moments is so difficult. She said that she still has range in her shoulder and is not in much pain, but doesn't want it to keep popping out, which has happened. An MRI is scheduled for Friday, December 9, to determine the extent of her injury."
"Kim did not compete in 2023 after her Gold medal victory at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. She took the time off to "enjoy life outside of that scene for a year." She also took a break from snowboarding after her first Olympic gold in 2018 to enroll at Princeton University, emphasizing the importance of balancing her athletic career with personal growth and education."
Chloe Kim dislocated her shoulder during a training session in Switzerland on her second day of practice after what she called the "silliest fall." She retains range of motion and is not in much pain, but the shoulder has popped out before. An MRI is scheduled for Friday, December 9, to determine the extent of the injury. Kim plans to rest and pursue rehabilitation, aiming to return once medically cleared and compete at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Kim is optimistic about her current snowboarding form and recently won her third Snowboard Halfpipe World Championship in March.
