Gus Kenworthy is a God Among Olympians and Here are the Photos to Prove It

Earlier today American freeskier Gus Kenworthy came out as gay in an interview with ESPN. Kenworthy won the silver medal in his event for Team USA back in 2014 at the Sochi Olympics in Russia.

Wrote Kenworthy on Facebook:

I am gay.

Wow, it feels good to write those words. For most of my life, I’ve been afraid to embrace that truth about myself. Recently though, I’ve gotten to the point where the pain of holding onto the lie is greater than the fear of letting go, and I’m very proud to finally be letting my guard down.

Congratulations, Gus! We need more athletes like you to come out and raise the visibility of the LGBT community in the world of sport. You coming out will doubtless touch the lives of many LGBT athletes and youths around the world.

Now, we need to discuss another important and pressing issue. Gus Kenworthy is totally hot. Don’t believe us? Check out our definitive guide to his unparalleled swoon-worthiness, below.

1. He indulges in ironic food choices.
