Chloe Kim posted an Instagram story about hurting her butt in the middle of the Olympic halfpipe final

• Snowboarding superstar Chloe Kim won a gold medal on the halfpipe at the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
• After locking up the win on her first run, Kim had some fun with the rest of the final.

Chloe Kim all but secured her gold medal after her first run of the day.

The American snowboarding sensation earned a 94 from the judges after putting down a near-flawless performance in the first round of Thursday's women's halfpipe final. With a score in place that her competitors couldn't touch and two more runs remaining in the event, Kim resolved to have some fun.

And she made the most of it, both on the slopes and the internet.

The 21-year-old fell while attempting a 1260 during her second and third runs, a trick that involves 3.5 rotations in the air, . And even though she seemingly had no trouble pulling herself out of the snow and riding to the bottom of the halfpipe at Genting Snow Park, she admitted that the wipeout hurt.

Sometime before the event ended, Kim found her phone and posted a selfie to her Instagram story. In the photo, Kim has her goggles on her forehead and her eyes squeezed shut.

"Ow my butt " the caption read.

Kim seemed to shake off the pain in order to celebrate with friends — like fellow gold medalist Eileen Gu — and snacks reporters gave her at the post-event press conference. And with no more events on her schedule in Beijing, she'll have ample time to rest up and allow her bottom to recover.
