Chloe Kim Didn't Cry After Winning Olympic Gold Because of Her Eyeliner

Seventeen-year-old Chloe Kim is just like you—if you earned a gold medal during your first-ever Olympic games. But athletic ability and hardware aside, Kim is just about the most relatable Olympian out there.

The teen sat down with the Today team to discuss her recent halfpipe win and joked about the real reason she didn’t shed a tear on the podium. Like us, Kim was worried that her makeup wouldn’t actually be waterproof.

“I was trying so hard to hold the tears back, 'cause I was like, I can’t cry right now. I can’t do this. I worked so hard on my eyeliner,” she said, making makeup-loving girls everywhere cheer in unison.
