Chloe Kim Dislocates Shoulder in Training Weeks Before Olympics

An MRI on Friday will determine whether the two-time halfpipe champion can pursue a third straight Olympic gold.

Overview

  • The 25-year-old revealed the injury in an Instagram video from Switzerland, sharing footage of the fall on the halfpipe.
  • She said she has range of motion and limited pain but worries about the shoulder popping out, as has happened before.
  • Her status for Milano-Cortina remains uncertain pending imaging and medical clearance less than a month before competition.
  • The Winter Olympics open Feb. 6, with women’s halfpipe events scheduled about a month after the injury.
  • Kim, the 2018 and 2022 gold medalist, also withdrew from the Dec. 19 U.S. Grand Prix final after a practice fall.
