Also, Kim is known for her taste for fast food. She asked for churros, which appears to be her favorite food:
Oh and I also had 2 churros today and they were pretty bomb so if you ever get nervous go eat a churro

Think that’s it? No! Kim also tweeted she was hangry that she hasn’t finished her sandwich during the breakfast.
Wish I finished my breakfast sandwich but my stubborn self decided not to and now I’m getting hangry

That’s why Kim was given a churro ice cream sandwich from celebrity chef David Chang. Such a sweet moment!

Red Gerard, US
The 17-year-old Red Gerard overslept after a late night of watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Despite that morning incident, Gerard still won a gold medal, the first for a U.S. team at this year’s Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
Gerard is the youngest American man to win a gold medal in 90 years! That’s probably why he said “holy f*ck!” on NBC’s live feed when the winners were announced.
Unfortunately, the video of NBC live stream was deleted, but we’ll always remember that funny moment.

“I did not believe it when I turned and there was no one there. I just had to keep pushing forward until the final.” Kruger stated.
