- Snowboarding superstar Chloe Kim won a gold medal on the halfpipe at the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
- In extremely Chloe Kim fashion, the 21-year-old requested snacks mid-press conference after the win.
- "If anyone has some snacks in their pockets maybe?" Kim said to reporters. "I'm starving."
Racking up gold medals is hungry work.
American snowboarding legend Chloe Kim successfully defended her gold medal during Thursday's women's halfpipe final at the 2022 Beijing Olympics. And after celebrating her dominant victory and making her way to the post-event press conference, the 21-year-old had a startling realization.
"I'm starving!" she announced in front of journalists from across the world.
Kim then implored the media members to offer up some treats to satiate her hunger.
"If anyone has some snacks in their pockets maybe?" she said, eliciting laughter from around the press room.
"It's lunch time," Kim added, looking at her cell phone.
The reporters immediately sprang to action, bringing all sorts of treats up to the podium for the two-time gold medalist to enjoy.
"Thank you, thank you," Kim said as she collected the goodies. "It's not a hurry, just thank you. Thank you so much."
"I'll eat this in a bit," she added.
The next journalist in line to ask a question paused before asking Kim if she'd like to eat her snacks before answering any more inquiries. The California native assured her that she could wait, but paused to offer Japan's Sena Tomita — the third-place finisher in the halfpipe event — some food to share.
