Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim is jumping from the halfpipe to reality TV, and she’s bringing some serious competitive fire with her to “The Traitors” Season 5. After snagging a silver medal at the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics, Kim isn’t slowing down, joining the cast of the new season set to broadcast on NBC and Peacock.
From Halfpipe Queen to Reality TV Star
Our 26-year-old Olympic phenom, Chloe Kim, already has three career Olympic medals, including that halfpipe silver she won back in February. Now she’s one of two athletes diving into the drama on “The Traitors.” You gotta wonder how that intense competitive drive from the Olympics translates when you’re dealing with “traitors” and “faithfuls,” right?
NFL Vet Switches Up The Playbook
Sharing the athletic spotlight with Kim is former NFL running back Rashad Jennings. The 41-year-old spent seven seasons in the NFL, including three solid campaigns with the New York Giants from 2014 to 2016. It’s a wild move for an NFL veteran to go from grinding it out on the field to a show where trust is everything. Talk about a completely different kind of playbook!
This isn’t the first time “The Traitors” has pulled in some serious sports talent, either. Season 5 marks the second straight season featuring multiple contestants with professional sports ties. Last season, we saw Olympic figure skaters Johnny Weir and Tara Lipinski, plus Donna Kelce, the mom of Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce. Clearly, the show knows athletes bring the game-on intensity.
So get ready to tune into NBC and Peacock, because seeing how these two compete outside their usual arenas? That’s gonna be must-watch TV.
