Chloe Kim has revealed her secret to Olympic success. And as it turns out, the key to winning a gold medal is not just a lot of hard work (though that should go unsaid). It's also about having enough ice cream and a good playlist.
The 17-year-old Team USA athlete walked away with a gold medal in the 2018 Winter Olympics halfpipe competition on Monday, thanks to a stunning display of snowboarding tricks that she dedicated to her grandma. While her win could be attributed to years of practice and a serious training schedule, it's also possible that her halfpipe playlist of choice may have provided the inspiration for a few of her moves.
According to NPR, Chloe remembered two of the three songs she chose for her run on the pipe. On her first trip down she listened to "Paparazzi" by Lady Gaga and scored a 93.75, ESPN reports. She doesn't recall her second song but did reveal her third, gold-medal-winning run was soundtracked by "MotorSport" by Migos, Cardi B, and Nicki Minaj.
Fans on Twitter have since pointed out that the song was also played in the Philadelphia Eagles' locker room, and they went on to win the 2018 Super Bowl. Sounds like it might be time to update our gym playlist.
