Snowboard halfpipe Olympic championChloe Kim has said she will take a season out from the sport to regroup.
She became the youngest woman to win an Olympic snowboarding gold medal at the age of 17.

I just want to enjoy this moment, take it all in and then get back to it when I feel ready, said the American.
Kim needed a break from the spotlight.
She said that she didn't want to get back into it after such a fun year.
As of now, the plan is to win a third medal.
After winning her first Winter Olympics title, Kim took a year off to study anthropology.
She left her studies on hiatus when in-class tuition was halted due to the Covid-19 epidemic.
