Chloe Kim, 21 – California, United States
Chloe Kim headlined the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing. Winning gold at the halfpipe event again made her the first snowboarder to ever defend their medal at the event. That record is one more on an impressive list and brought her career medal tally to 14.
Unsurprisingly, Kim’s started snowboarding as early as age four. By six, she was competing as a member of Team Mountain High. Seven years later, in 2013, Kim was a member of the U.S. Snowboarding team. With her level of success, she’s become an icon, and there’s no stopping her. In 2022, “Fortnite” made Kim a playable character in their game.
