Kim, who will be 25 come the Milan Cortina Games, can become the first snowboarder to win the same Olympic event three times, if she isn’t beaten to it by Austrian Anna Gasser (big air) and Czech Ester Ledecka (parallel giant slalom).

For the first time in the history of the Olympics, two cities will share hosting duties in 2026. The XXV Olympic Winter Games will take place from February 6 through February 22, 2026.

Next year’s Olympics might be called the Milan Cortina Games but it will actually be staged across a large swath of northern Italy spread over five different venue clusters.
