The American snowboarder took to Twitter on Monday to share that she was craving the frozen treat while hanging out on top of a snowy mountain in PyeongChang, South Korea. “Could be down for some ice cream rn,” she wrote before going on to post a score of 95.50 in her second run of the day. After her first place finish, the U.S. Olympic Team quickly offered to help her satisfy her craving. “95.50 on your second run??,” the team’s official account [replied](https://twitter.com/TeamUSA/status/962924430623158272). “Ice cream is on us!” Kim also revealed that she had already indulged in a different dessert to start the day. “Oh and I also had 2 churros today and they were pretty bomb so if you ever get nervous go eat a churro,” she tweeted. The Internet, of course, was totally on board with her dedication to snacking. “I’m nervous just watching the Olympics from 7,000 miles away and Chloe Kim is standing on top of the mountain tweeting about how much she wants ice cream,” [wrote](https://twitter.com/jbillinson/status/962924115937124352) user Josh Billinson. > [](https://twitter.com/chloekimsnow/status/962568293809758208) > [](https://twitter.com/chloekimsnow/status/962571848549416960) > [](https://twitter.com/chloekimsnow/status/962918340481056770) > [](https://twitter.com/TeamUSA/status/962924430623158272) > [](https://twitter.com/jbillinson/status/962924115937124352) See some more reactions below. > [](https://twitter.com/SpencerHren/status/962918853624913921) > [](https://twitter.com/SpencerHren/status/962919179320950789) > [](https://twitter.com/PaoloUggetti/status/962930562120826881) > [](https://twitter.com/Kevinepark/status/962920122657591296) > [](https://twitter.com/peyIRL/status/962924193393373185) > [](https://twitter.com/seoulcialite/status/962924814024323073) > [](https://twitter.com/cwise%5Fman/status/963083181326028800) ## Transcript [00:00] [ MUSIC ] My name is Chloe Kim. I am a half [00:04] pipe snowboarder. First I remember the Olympics is [00:07] watching it on TV in 2006 and being [00:11] really inspired. If I wasn't competing in the Olympics I [00:12] would probably just be in High School. Going to a mall [00:15] with my friends. What are you most looking forward to, [00:16] or are most excited about going to Korea? I'm Korean [00:20] American, so I have a lot of family there. So I think that [00:22] will be really exciting to just go hang out with them in [00:24] Korea. If you could try any other Olympic sport, what [00:25] would it be? [00:29] [ MUSIC ] Probably like volleyball. [00:35] And I think it will be fun. Even though I'll probably get [00:37] hit in the face a lot, I think it'll still be safe.
