The 25-year-old snowboarder was trying to make history with her third gold in three consecutive Olympics. She was shockingly denied in front of her Browns man.

Chloe Kim was set to become the first snowboarder to win gold medals in three consecutive Winter Olympic Games. Then it didn’t happen as 17-year-old South Korean Choi Ga-on pulled off the amazing upset. Kim’s boyfriend and Cleveland Browns star Myles Garrett was there to cheer her on where the two shared a sweet moment that turned sour later on.

Garrett, 30, just got to Italy after winning the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year award during Super Bowl week in San Francisco, California, after he set the all-time season sack record with 23. His snowboard superstar girlfriend couldn’t be there on his big night as she arrived for the Milano Cortina Games, but she certainly was paying attention and reacted to his accomplishment.

Now, Garrett is in full Chloe Kim fanboy mode after an epic photo during her qualifying run, and then showing up at Thursday’s halfpipe final in a full Chloe Kim custom jacket (see first related above).

The Korean-American Kim from Torrance, California, was a darling of the 2022 Beijing Games winning gold in the women’s snowboard halfpipe where she became the first to win the event twice — she took home her first in the 2018 Pyeongchang Games, making her the youngest woman ever to win gold in snowboarding there at just 17.

Her first run looked like it would lock up a third gold medal:

This was Garrett’s initial reaction to her crazy run:

Kim, Garrett’s emotional moment ruined

After that big run, the couple even shared a hug and a kiss after as if the third gold was locked up.

But, it was short-lived as on the third and final run Ga-on put on the performance of her life to steal away the gold that was sealed when Kim, who went last, fell for a second consecutive run. Ga-on finished with a 90.25 to Kim’s 88.0.

Fans think Garrett bad luck

Fans afterward blamed Garrett on social media for bringing the Browns curse to Kim.

Their relationship timeline

She also made news for hard launching her relationship with the 30-year-old Garrett after they were linked since March when they were seen together at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards in Tokyo. They then shared a sweet moment at a game this season.
