She has grown on people a lot. She has become a sort of youth female icon with her achievements. Especially right now, people are fixated on her after her latest win. Once people come under the limelight, fans become inquisitive about their background, relationships, and personal life.
Chloe Kim also could not avoid being the subject of such curiosity. More specifically, her fans want to know if Chloe Kim has chosen to undergo any plastic surgery.
There is no information available about her plastic surgery at the moment. But that’s probably because she hadn’t had any. Chloe Kim’s only 21 years old. She is too young to change her features through cosmetic surgery. Not that people don’t get the surgery done young, but Chloe is more focused on her career as a snowboarder.
She is not a part of the glam industry where people are obsessed with their looks. She is a part of the sports world where they just care about being athletes and training. So, it is highly unlikely that Chloe Kim got any plastic surgery done.
Chloe Kim and Her Contributions to US Snowboarding
Chloe Kim was born on April 23, 2000, in Long Beach, California. Her nationality is American and she has South Korean heritage. She was brought up in Torrance.
Chloe Kim started snowboarding at a very young age. She first indulged in this activity with her father, who was completely oblivious about just what Chloe could do, just for fun at age four at the southern California resort of Mountain High. It didn’t take long for her father to recognize Chloe’s potential.
Chloe’s father Jong Jin devoted himself to training Chloe. He even quit his job as an engineer and gave his undivided attention to her. Chloe Kim was ready to compete in snowboarding by the age of six and she did compete as a member of Team Mountain High.
She went to Geneva in Switzerland when she was eight to train. She returned after two years and joined Mammoth Mountain. She began home-schooling and Jong Jin would drive for nearly five hours at the night from home to Mammoth to oversee her training and ensure that she would learn from the best.
All these extreme efforts paid off and proved to be fruitful as Chloe Kim qualified for the US Snowboarding Team in 2013 when she was thirteen. And then she was an unstoppable force to be reckoned with from then on.
At the 2014 Winter X Games, she won a silver medal in superpipe coming behind Kelly Clark. Next year, she bested Clark and took away the gold medal. In 2016, she made history by becoming the first person to win two gold medals and back-to-back at the X Games.
The same year, she also became the first woman to land back-to-back 1080 spins in a snowboarding competition at U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix. She scored a perfect 100 points.
In 2016, Chloe became the first woman to get America a gold medal at the Winter Youth Olympic Games, where she also became the first snowboarder to be chosen to be Team USA’s flag bearer for the Opening Ceremony. She was nominated for Best Breakthrough Athlete at the 2016 ESPYS Awards.
In 2018, Chloe Kim participated in her first Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, where she bagged the gold medal in the Women’s Halfpipe Finals. She broke another record by becoming the youngest woman at seventeen to win gold in the halfpipe at the Olympics.
The previous record was held by Kelly Clark who won the gold when she was nineteen. This got her a position on Time magazine’s annual Time 100 list. She also won three ESPYS for Best Female Athlete, Best Female Action Sports Athlete, and Best Female Olympian in July 2018.
In 2022. she participated in her second consecutive Winter Olympics which was held in Beijing, China. And like she has always done, she made history by becoming the first female snowboarder to win back-to-back gold medals at the snowboard halfpipe event.
