Team USA snowboarder Bea Kim is one of the 2026 Olympics’ greatest storylines

We are getting closer and closer to the Olympics beginning and when they do there are going to be a number of stories happening all across the world. Literally. That’s the point of the Olympics, after all.

It is hard to beat United States snowboarder Bea Kim (no relation to her Team USA teammate Chloe Kim) in terms of the most interesting Olympics storylines. Bea is only 18 years old and one of the brightest points of optimism and talent across what the United States may have to offer.

Bea was kind enough to join SB Nation recently on behalf of her partnership with Delta, a partner who is helping keep her life organized as she attempts to do something incredible. You can watch our conversation below.

Delta is the very best in the airline business and it is clear that Bea, who seems to be the best at everything she does, can recognize that. She does a lot of flying for her life/career and I am always curious how people who do so handle it all. She had some great tips!

Bea noted that travelers should always have a toothbrush to help keep flights feeling fresh which is honestly a great note (something Delta can help with, by the way).

Kim also shared that from an entertainment perspective she obviously downloads things to watch. We have all done that, but she had a particular twist on it all. Bea says she always downloads something happy, sad, and funny to make sure that she touches on all genres. I love this.

What’s more is that Bea even provided examples of things she enjoys on flights, all of which are available on Delta studio:

• Friends
• Succession
• Good Will Hunting
• Pretty Woman
• Jerry Maguire

I’d imagine that Bea will have a few of these fired up as she heads to the Olympics soon.
