By Canadian Press on January 8, 2026.

LAAX, Switzerland (AP) — Two-time Olympic gold medalist Chloe Kim said Thursday that she dislocated her shoulder in training and doesn’t know whether she wil be able to compete at the Winter Games in Italy next month.

Kim posted footage of her fall on the halfpipe in Laax, where the world’s top snowboarders compete later this month in a key pre-Olympic tune-up.

She said she remains optimistic and has full range of motion in the shoulder and expects to know more after tests Friday.
