Why has she Decided to take a break?

Kim has decided to take this break simply to improve her mental health. Her hard work must have taken a major toll on her as well as the fact she just had too much on her plate and how she would like to focus on herself. Kim told a reporter, “ “(I) just want to kind of reset. I don’t want to get right back into it after such a fun, but draining year, at the same time, knowing that it was an Olympic year.” Kim discussed putting herself first but assures fans she will be back to “earn her third gold medal.”
