🏂 Gus Kenworthy, the freestyle skiing sensation, is making headlines again! Once a star for Team USA, he’s now proudly flying the Union Jack for Team GB at the Winter Olympics. Born in Chelmsford but raised in Colorado, Gus is embracing his British roots, honouring his English mum by wearing Team GB colours. 🇬🇧
Some folks have tossed around the term “traitor,” but Gus is unbothered. He says, “I don’t owe anybody anything.” 🇺🇸➡️🇬🇧 For Gus, it’s about where he feels at home and wanting to make his mum proud. With past Olympic and X Games success under his belt, Kenworthy is keen to add more medals to his collection.
This shift to Team GB wasn’t just about personal honour, but practicality too. Competition for Team USA spots is fierce, and by choosing GB, Gus opens up opportunities for other talented athletes back in the States. 🌟 It’s his own way of balancing dreams and duty.
Kenworthy’s journey isn’t just about sporting glory; these Olympics are a chance for him to prove doubters wrong and earn his first Olympic gold. As he gears up for the slopestyle event, all eyes are on the slopes in Italy. Let’s cheer him on as he chases his dreams with the heart and skill of a true champion! 🎿✨
