It's safe to say it's been a pretty good week for Chloe Kim. The 17-year-old snowboarder took home a gold medal for the women's halfpipe event with an impressive 98.25 score. She also became Twitter's new favorite follow after sending out several very relatable tweets about food, some mid-competition.
In honor of Kim's win, celebrity chef David Chang made sure her wish came true. Chang, who's in Pyeongchang with NBC, took Kim's request for ice cream into his own hands with a little help from the Olympic cafeteria.
Using pizza dough, cinnamon sugar, and ice cream, Chang whipped up a churro ice cream sandwich to bring to Kim after her big win. Earlier in the week, Kim tweeted that she had eaten two churros and "they were pretty bomb so if you're ever nervous just eat a churro." That might just be our new life motto.

Chloe Kim might just be the best female halfpipe snowboarder in the world, but that doesn't mean she's not relatable. Kim was recently competing in the women's halfpipe qualifications at the 2018 Olympics, and in between runs, she tweeted out some important information:
After flipping around on the halfpipe, Kim wanted some ice cream. And who can blame her? Just look at what she did!
The call for ice cream quickly turned into a full-blown hashtag, #OlympicIceCreamFlavors, where people tweeted out various flavors that included Olympic-themed puns:
Kim ended up qualifying for the halfpipe finals, which means she will compete on Tuesday morning (or Monday night in the United States). Her teammates Kelly Clark, Arielle Gold, and Maddie Mastro also made it to the finals. Kim received the two highest scores of the day with a 91.50 and a 95.50, according to NBC.
Now someone please get this girl some ice cream.
