In 2014, Chloe Kim was relegated to a footnote in the Olympic history books.
Her absence from the Sochi Games was noteworthy. Had she been allowed to compete, she might have won a medal. There was one problem though: She was too young.
Official rules stated that competitors for snowboard halfpipe must have turned at least 15 years old by the end of 2013. Kim was just 13, though she was already one of the best halfpipe riders in the world.
As a result, many people lamented the idea that the Olympics would go on without her.
