In October 2020, he competed at the iQFoil International Games held at Campione, Lake Garda.[3]

At the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan, he won gold for the Netherlands in windsurfing.[4]

After his Olympic win, Badloe garnered media attention for the distinctive "blue colored arrow haircut" he sported during the competition.[5] The hairstyle was an homage to the cartoon character Aang from the Avatar: The Last Airbender series. Badloe explained the show's connection to his haircut ahead of his medal race:[6]

It's about a kid that controls the wind, and he needs to control all different kinds of elements of nature in order to do something great, and I'm doing the same here.

— Kiran Badloe

In March 2022, his portrait was added to a mural in the Schilderswijk neighbourhood of The Hague, Netherlands, alongside other Dutch competitors of the Summer or Winter Olympics and Paralympics held in 2021 and 2022.[7]
