Gus Kenworthy

About Gus

The only man left who competes at the top level in both ski superpipe and slopestyle, Gus has medaled in the last four X Games events he's entered: Slopestyle and SuperPipe silver at Aspen 2016 and Big Air and SuperPipe bronze at XG Oslo 2016. He won the AFP overall title for the sixth straight time in 2016 -- he's perhaps the best all-around skier in the world. In an October 2015 ESPN The Magazine story, Kenworthy announced publicly that he was gay, becoming the first male action sports athlete to do so. Gus says that being true to himself as helped him excel on skis.
