Olympic skier Gus Kenworthy — who switched allegiance from the U.S. to compete for Great Britain in his final Games in Beijing in honor of his mom — said he was “happy to be walking” following a horror crash in the men’s halfpipe final on Saturday.
“Considering the conditions, I still had more that I wanted, but after that bad slam I am happy to be walking and land the run and getting through it in one piece,” he added. “It is a good show despite how gnarly it is out here.”
Kenworthy finished eighth. New Zealand’s Nico Porteous won gold with America’s David Wise and Alex Ferreira taking second and third spot.
