My Take
Gus Kenworthy is far more than a skier to me. The Chelmsford-born athlete won slopestyle silver at the 2014 Sochi Olympics, which alone marks him as elite, but what I truly respect came afterward. Competing at the top while coming out as gay, then carrying the banner for LGBTQ rights, took a kind of courage that sport rarely demands of its stars. He has since acted in American Horror Story and built a voice on YouTube, moving easily between the slopes, the screen, and activism. Skiing, speaking, living honestly: he does all three openly, and I have a soft spot for that kind of directness.
