In the caption of this Instagram post, Chloe wrote, “Happy happy Monday! I’ve been enjoying the last bit of time at home before I start training again. As you may know, I took this past winter off from snowboarding to give my mind and body a break. I felt very tired after the Beijing Olympics, even considered retirement.”
“But I soon realized that those feelings stemmed from me neglecting my needs as a young adult and prioritizing only what was necessary for me to perform as an athlete,” he continued. “This year’s holiday is important for me to think about everything. I’ve learned a lot about myself and I finally feel ready to get back on the snow. Appreciate everyone and your continued support. Means the world to me.”

Famous fans and friends immediately shared their support. Athlete and author Scout Bassett commented, “Love you for putting yourself and your self-care first. You shine in everything and we can’t wait to see you do what you love.” Lifeguard Amanda Atkins wrote, “Mental rocks are just as important as physical rocks! It’s always good to take some time for yourself. You need to fill your cup.”
“Glad you got some time for me to freshen up!!” shouted another follower. “You are amazing for standing up for what you need! Sometimes it’s hard to listen to our inner voice and know our needs! You will rock it this year. Good luck!” another fan chimed in. “So glad you’re enjoying life. You’ve accomplished so much. Wish you all the best, Chloe!” another follower wrote.

In April 2022, Chloe told Cheddar News that she was taking some time off from competing “to reset”, making it clear that she didn’t want to “get back into it after a fun but exhausting year at the same time.” He actually said that it was “refreshing” to return to Princeton University and spend time with non-athletes.
“It’s nice to know I can make friends with people who aren’t snowboarders or in the industry,” he said at the time. “It’s hard to have that separation and get away from the thought of work.”
However, he is already planning to return to the 2026 Games in Italy. “I just want to enjoy this moment, take it all in, and then come back to it when I feel like I’m ready,” Kim explained. “So far, the plan is to chase a third medal.”

In February 2022, Chloe admitted that she felt overwhelmed by the pressure of international fame in an interview with Savannah Guthrie on the “Today” show. She said that her cheeks “hurt so much from pretending to smile” but that she felt pressure to “always live” and “always be excited” in front of people.
Luckily, it looks like the star athlete has taken some time off to manage her mental health and her fans can’t wait to see her back bigger and better than ever!
