What time does Chloe Kim actually snowboard? How schedule works for women's halfpipe qualification on Wednesday

Chloe Kim is about to take to her stage at the Olympics.

On Wednesday, women's snowboarders compete in the qualifying rounds of the halfpipe competition at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy.

Kim, the reigning world champion, is ready to get rolling.

She does have a shoulder injury, which could make things a little tougher on her, but she's working through it.

“I feel confident,” Kim said. “I feel really good about how I’m feeling physically and mentally, and that’s most important right now.”

Assuming Kim makes it through qualifying, the final is on Thursday. But first up is qualifying on Wednesday.

What time does Chloe Kim actually snowboard on Wednesday?

The qualifying round begins at 4:30 a.m. ET for United States viewers (that's 10:30 a.m. local time).

Kim is 15th in the order.

The halfpipe runs take a minute or less, and then you add in the transition time to the next competitor while a score is given. So it's safe to figure Kim will be on the halfpipe by around 5 a.m. ET.

There are two qualifying runs on Wednesday, with the second run beginning at 5:27 a.m. ET. In that, add in a similar half hour or so before Kim to be able to watch her.

The final is quite a bit more convenient. That gets underway Thursday at 1:30 p.m. ET.
