Snowboarder Chloe Kim says she's "good to go" for the Olympics despite tearing
the labrum in her shoulder during a training run last week in Switzerland.
The two-time gold medalist in the halfpipe posted an update to Instagram on
Tuesday, saying she wasn't surprised to learn she had torn her labrum --- the
lining of the socket that holds the shoulder together. She did not say which
shoulder she injured when she fell while getting ready for this weekend's Laax
Open.
"There are two ways to do it, and the way I did it is less severe than the
other, so I'm really happy about that," she said. "Obviously, I'm really
disappointed that I can't snowboard until right before the Olympics, which is
going to be hard. I haven't gotten nearly the amount of reps that I would have
liked, but that's OK."
