label: Description (Brief)
content: Chloe Kim is a second-generation, Korean American snowboarder who wore these goggles while earning her second Olympic gold medal in the halfpipe event at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. Kim had become the youngest woman to win a gold medal in snowboarding at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics also winning two ESPY awards that year for Best Female Athlete and Best Female Olympian. Earning six X Games gold medals in as many years, Kim was the first woman to land back-to-back 1080 spins or three full revolutions, securing a perfect 100 points, the only woman to do so. Off the slopes, Kim has become a role model for Asian American female athletes and has spoken out against anti-Asian hate during the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.
