Chloe Kim confirms labrum tear before Milan Cortina (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: The bad news is that I tore my labrum. I'm not surprised by that but it's official.

[00:00:06] Speaker 2: Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim posted an update about her shoulder injury on Instagram. You might remember she shared this video on January 8th of the moment she fell and got hurt while training in Switzerland.

[00:00:18] Speaker 1: The good news is that I just tore my labrum. I can't snowboard until right before the Olympics which is going to be hard.

[00:00:30] Speaker 2: The women's halfpipe competition in the Milan Cortina Games begins on February 11th so Kim has a little less than a month to rest and recover.

[00:00:39] Speaker 1: I get to wear this really sexy shoulder brace.

[00:00:42] Speaker 2: Kim is already a two-time Olympic champion who first won gold when she was only 17 then did it again in 2022. She's the clear favourite to win a third Olympic medal this year.

[00:00:55] Speaker 1: I've been doing this for so long and every season I am met with a different set of challenges so I guess this is gonna be the one this year.
