Chloe Kim Suffers Dislocated Shoulder In Switzerland

American snowboard icon Chloe Kim suffered a dislocated shoulder during a training session in Laax this week, marking the second time in the past month that she has popped the same shoulder out. The injury came during a halfpipe run from what she calls the "silliest fall."

Kim shared the news on Instagram including footage of the crash, offering a candid update on as the Milan-Cortina Olympics quickly approach:

“trying to stay positive through these moments so difficult,” Kim wrote. “I have gone through so many waves of emotions I literally have a migraine. The only thing I can do is rest/do everything in my power to come back as soon as possible. thank you all for supporting me on this wild journey! will keep you posted :) p.s I think I am getting old”

The injury comes at a critical moment. With Olympic qualification events looming, Kim's recovery may be slightly expedited. Still, she'll most likely be fully firing by Olympic time.

Certainly, Kim is one who knows how to rebound from adversity. The two-time Olympic gold medalist has already navigated burnout, time away from competition, and a high-pressure return to the top of the sport. Resilience is a key part of her game.

For now, Kim says the focus is simple: rest, recovery, and doing everything possible to get healthy in time to ensure another Olympic start. The road to Milan-Cortina may have thrown up another obstacle, but for one of snowboarding's most dominant riders ever, the story is just getting started.
