She landed a jump cleanly but lost her edge and went skittering across the pipe, face down. She said she is trying to stay optimistic about competing at the Olympics but I dont have much clarity now.The 25-year-old Kim said she has an MRI scheduled for Friday that will reveal the extent of the damage. The positive thing is, I have range, Im not in that much pain, I just dont want it to keep popping out, which has happened, she said. Im just trying to stay really optimistic. I feel really good about where my snowboarding is at right now, so I know the minute I get cleared and Im good to go, I should be fine.___AP Winter Olympics: https://apnews.com/hub/milan-cortina-2026-winter-olympics
