Kim first posted herself landing a 1260 during practice on her Instagram in May 2018.
"After multiple penguin slides and ice burns all over my body it was worth it!!" Kim wrote in the caption.
Kim previously attempted the 1260 at the 2022 Olympics in Beijing but fell on the landing.
"I really wanted to do that trick for a long time," Kim said about the 1260 on the NBC Sports broadcast. "I wish it was a little cleaner, but I'm really stoked that I was able to put it down."
Next up could be the 1440. Kim became the first woman to land one in training during a camp in Switzerland this winter, according to NBC Sports.
