Chloe Kim, the 17-year-old snowboarding phenomenon from Long Beach, California, became the youngest woman to win a snowboarding gold medal and joined Red Gerard as the second 17-year-old from the US snowboarding team to take gold at the PyeongChang 2018 games.

Kim's story of success is the American dream. Her father, Jong Jin Kim, quit his job to support his daughter's goal of being an Olympic level athlete. Kim, who is of South Korean decent, got emotional after completing her amazing final run and joined her family who were watching on the slopes in an emotional group hug.
