Chloe Kim
Growing up, Chloe Kim had always grappled with her identity. This girl is anything but meek, believe us. She’s one of the sharpest people you’ll ever meet. When her Korean family relocated from Los Angeles to Switzerland, she had to learn to adapt. She discovered a new pastime—snowboarding–during that tumultuous shift.
And boy, did she do it well! Her debut at the Youth Olympic Games in Lillehammer was a smash hit. She won gold medals in both the halfpipe and slopestyle events. At the age of 17, she had gained enough amplitude to win gold on the halfpipe.
