| ESPN Magazine recently featured Chloe Kim on its cover. |
Chloe Kim actually qualified for the Olympic team in 2014, but at age 13, she was too young for the competition.
Now, at the ripe old age of 17, she is the heavy gold medal favorite in snowboard half-pipe; nabbed Visa as one of her primary sponsors; NBC did a commercial on her to promote their coverage of the Winter Games in PyongChang, South Korea; and she made the cover of ESPN Magazine (See above.).
She also revealed what she does to conquer the nervousness that accompanies the competition. She snacks!
Could be down for some ice cream rn
