Olympic Gold at 17 Never Felt the Way She Expected | Chloe Kim

I did not give up when I could have. People were telling me that maybe it wasn't a good idea to do this. I was not gonna let up. Like I wanted to believe in myself and show myself that I could deal with this. I don't know if you can ever truly eliminate self-doubt.

I think you can maybe quiet the noise a bit, but the minute something doesn't go your way, that self-doubt's gonna come right back. At just 17 years old, she became the youngest woman to win Olympic gold in snowboarding, establishing herself. It's one of the most dominant athletes in her sport. We have the inspiring Chloe Kim in the house. My dad later on told me that if I didn't make it by the time I was 13, we wouldn't be able to afford it anymore.

The most pressure I felt from them was actually as we got closer to my first Olympics. I had to have a sit-down with my parents. Like, guys, this doesn't feel good. Really? This feels really intense.
