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) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5146569/olympics-2018-chloe-kim-ice-cream-tweet/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5146569/olympics-2018-chloe-kim-ice-cream-tweet/"},"headline":"Chloe Kim Tweeted About Ice Cream While Competing at the Olympics and the Internet Can't Handle It","datePublished":"2018-02-12T19:08:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:50:33.159Z","description":"She's also a fan of churros","url":"https://time.com/5146569/olympics-2018-chloe-kim-ice-cream-tweet/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Winter Olympics","2018 Pyeongchang Olympics"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt702b3c20b7ebc880/6989271e929fad7cb0bef92a/chloe-kim-snacks.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt702b3c20b7ebc880/6989271e929fad7cb0bef92a/chloe-kim-snacks.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Chloe Kim Snacks","caption":"Chloe Kim of the United States smiles in the Snowboard Ladies' Halfpipe Qualification on day three of the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympic Games at Phoenix Snow Park on February 12, 2018.","creditText":"David Ramos/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5146569/olympics-2018-chloe-kim-ice-cream-tweet/","name":"Chloe Kim Tweeted About Ice Cream While Competing at the Olympics and the Internet Can't Handle It"}}]}] ```
