Gus Kenworthy finishes in last place at the Olympics

Gus was skiing cautiously. He has a broken thumb and a big bloody hemotoma on his hip.

Is he likely to be young enough to compete in four years or is this it?

Must be depressing to go through all that work and then get injured in practice.

He'll be 30 then; so it's not impossible.

Nowadays every Olympic athlete has to have a "REDEMPTION" Olympics.

But who else will come on the scene in the meantime?

Tyra said it best

Augustus Richard "Gus" Kenworthy (born October 1, 1991) is a British-born American freestyle skier from Telluride, Colorado.

Augustus shows us his foreskin.

Now that he's burned his bridges, he won't get the consolation of being able to go the White House and meet the president either. He's set himself up to be gay royalty, but he's going to learn that our royalty only wear the crown until the next young thing comes along. He should have concentrated on his sport first and the rest would have followed from his success at that.

"Augustus shows us his foreskin."

How else can you ski all the time and not have a job?

R8 WTF! His whole attitude has been anti-Pence, anti-Trump. The last thing he wants to do is pay them a visit. Pay attention!

I guess he should have been concentrating more on his sport than whether or not he'd go to the White House.

he cares?

the line of johns waiting for him only increases.....

Yahoo Sports asks, "Could an Olympic medal ever top waking up to a tweet from Britney Spears?" Maybe that was more important to him. He seems to be more focused on his celebrityhood than anything else. A serious athlete shuts out everything else and keeps their eye on the prize. The attention on Kenworthy shouldn't overshadow the accomplishment of Nick Goepper.

So.... are the bottom jokes too easy, too inappropriate, or both?

Its a drag that certain people are gloating about this.

This Olympics sucks. Almost everyone's a washout: Vonn, Kenworthy, Mikaela Shiffrin, Nathan Chen...

Adam Rippon is probably the biggest American story at the Games, and he came in 10th!

Oh my, such jealousy. You go Gus gurl.

Shiffrin already has a gold medal from these games.

I would be happy to console him. Get in bed Gus and lets cuddle. hehe damn your ass is nice.

"Oh. My. God. Was really not prepared to wake up to this. Not sure how I'm gonna ski today because I'm LITERALLY dead now but I'm gonna go that extra mile for you, Britney! Ilysm!!!"

So that was his last tweet. Oh well. Sorry Britney. At least he's not literally dead.

Gus wasn’t last. He made the finals where he finished last of the final 12. He’s the biggest name in his sport (yes, not the richest), a silver medalist and happy. I choose to celebrate him and hope he continues

He should have spent more time training rather than hamming it up for the media.

Bitch, I just won silver and you still bitchin'

[quote]"Oh. My. God. Was really not prepared to wake up to this. Not sure how I'm gonna ski today because I'm LITERALLY dead now but I'm gonna go that extra mile for you, Britney! Ilysm!!!"

Wait a minute. This is how Gus actually talks? With multiple emojis too? Is he a 14 year old teenage girl? My God, he is an idiot. He was so worried about Britney Spears that he wiped out.

Do black gay athletes talk like this? Omg going the extra mile for you kween bey! Ilysfm! Or something like that?

Gus deserved to finish last for his incorrect usage of LITERALLY.

The fact that he's said something against Trump is responsible for most of the concern trolling in this thread. You guys are so transparent. I'll bet you are the same ones who rail against Meghan Markle, too because you sound identical.

He'll be fine and he's fine, despite OP's misleading headline. Injury during practice sucks, but it's not like it's the "real" Olympics anyway.

I can’t take the cringe.

[quote] He’s the biggest name in his sport

Not anymore.

Reminds me of Tom Daley in Rio in 2016 -- all of the hype and media attention, only to finish last.

Love ya Gus.

Go away, Bus.

He did fine. He was injured (broken thumb and bad hematoma on his thigh which looks really gruesome) yet was able to make the finals. He could possibly come back. He's still got a life ahead of him. He can be a coach, commentator, exhibition performer, and a number of other things. He's done a lot for gay visibility in winter sports. Good for him.

The visibility mattered the most...period. The whole example of being out and not giving a damn. A line was drawn and will never be reversed.

His sport is a young person's sport, so this will be his last Olympics.

I don’t even know half of these Winter Olympics sports. Figure skating is all I watch. I hope Michelle Kwan does well.

Go Dorothy!

I'm rootin' for Axel, to show us how it's done!

Look at the Trumpkins gloat. He was injured and still managed to get to the finals round. We'll probably see him in the next games.

Like the Vonn girl he was so busy being "woke" he forgot he was there to be the best athlete. Instead of getting a Wheaties box at least he can look forward to an episode as Andy Cohen's bartender. Maybe while there he can serve a drink to Brittany, squealing what a goddess she is.

He could have been heroic and actually earned a place in the gay pantheon instead of being appointed to it by the media. Many of his antics to call attention to himself have been cringeworthy at best. The H&S commercial was good, because presumably the sponsor and director asked him to act like an athlete and not a stereotype.

Let's analyse R41. The gays shouldn't act like they're proud to be gay because then they are "stereotype". They should act straight because then they are "athletes".

Bitch, you can't do 1/100 of what he did on the slopes with or without his injuries, you sit in front of the TV and all you do is bitch. Why should anyone be taking professional or life advice from you?

This bimbo should have said "Not sure how I'm gonna ski today because I'm METAPHORICALLY dead now but I'm gonna go that extra mile for you, Britney! Ilysm!!!".

Deplorables are such dimwitted, whiney little twats.

^ Well, Gus seems rather like a 'whiney little twat'.

Kenworthy was not Medal-worthy.

Goddammit.

He may not have won a medal ( and no he didn't come in last. There are 30 athletes who compete and only 12 make the finals) but this is the headline everywhere

^ That is a very unflattering photo.

more focus on doing well competing, less focus on being a fameho

Is there anyway to get Gus to read this thread? I think it's important that he know the judgement that the DL has made about his behavior so that he can get a better understanding of what he did wrong and what he should have done instead.

^ lmfao

She's old

R48 That picture is from the ghastly HuffPost (which is obviously run by sentimental females and/or sentiment freaks)

Their nauseatingly saccharine caption is —

"Gus Kenworthy Kissed His Boyfriend On TV And Melted All The Ice"

I think he should keep a low profile and keep training so he can try to compete on the next Olympics but under a different name: Ken Gusworthy

Will that shampoo company still hire this failed homo?

She still has nice hair.

He’s another Michael Sam. A middling, famewhore athlete who thought coming out would somehow propel him to the top of the heap without having do any of the, you know, preparation that the sport actually demands.

The U.S. is no longer the greatest country in the world.

Gus gets his grandstanding moment, and American viewership plummets.

On the second Saturday of the South Korea-set competition, NBC and NBC Sports Network pulled in a 10.4/19 in metered market result for their joint primetime coverage. Down a hard 20% from the previous February 15 and February 16 lows of the 2018 Games, that’s the worst rating so far for PyeongChang coverage. It is also a drop of 32% from the melded NBC and NBCSN results of February 10, the first Saturday of these games.

Head & Shoulders will now have to use their fallback and put Johnny Weir's head under the spigot.

Honestly, I don't know if the Winter Olympics will even be a thing in 10 years. Americans don't watch or participate in any winter sports nowadays. Without America, you have to question their viability going forward. Figure skating is not big anymore, either.

He was a silver medalist just 4 years ago so he's hardly a failure. Also I think his happy go lucky personality is just a front. His boyfriend says he's highly stressed--grinds his teeth in his sleep and was very stressed during this Olympics. I'm pretty sure he trained hard but just ran into bad luck with the broken thumb and the hematoma. You can hardly do great loop de loops in the air with those kinds of injuries.

Maybe he would have won if he visited Michigan or Wisconsin?

In this Hollywood Medium video, he talks about making a decision to leave skiing behind and to move on. He also talks about losing a best friend at 14 and how that affected his life plans.

The Olympics don't suck at all--only if all you're going to do is root for the Americans. And not everyone's a wash out. Athletes from other countries are winning and doing great. And they're not a wash out.

That internationally televised gay kiss sapped his mojo.

R15 how about how some people are gloating about people being murdered in FL because they might have been Trump supporters? At least Gus has his health and his looks and a hookup list to last the next 10 years.

Britney cursed her when she said she was doing it for her.

R68, no one’s gloating about people being murdered in Florida, asshole Russian operative.

R70 You were certainly gleeful for days in that sorrowful story.

He says that he had no idea that kiss was filmed

Athletes hug and kiss their loved ones, male or female, when competition is over. Gus is no different.

[quote]The visibility mattered the most...period. The whole example of being out and not giving a damn. A line was drawn and will never be reversed.

WRONG. It’s what you DO with that visibility that matters. We have many examples of people being out and not giving a damn so I don’t even know why that’s even a talking point. Unfortunately, this rash of young, visible gays do NOTHING but pose for the camera. PERIOD. The end. And they never get any shit for it because they have a six-pack. If anything…. they reinforce the most prevalent gay stereotype. The political chant of Queer Nation “We’re queer, we here, get used to it” used to mean something but its been replaced with “OhMyGerd, where’s my selfie stick.”

red haireds never fail to disappoint.

R74 has it.

Well said R74

So many cuntish people here who think they know how to win Olympic medals or the "correct" gay behavior we should all be exhibiting when the sad fact is none of you will amount to one tenth of what the people you besmirch possess. Have a great day assholes. #MAGA

Well, that’s a GREAT response…..for a teenager. I agree with the “How to win an Olympic medal” part of your little posting tantrum, but I believe that’s ALL in jest. OF COURSE, nobody in this thread could dictate to an Olympian how to win a medal. Maybe you should learn to identify sarcasm between your “Real Housewives of Whatever” viewings?

I do take issue with your “correct behavior” comment as I’m the one that commented on the vanity and emptiness of our young gay celebs. Look, I’m not some old, stuffy elitist who drinks tea with his pinky in the air. I just think that If you’re CONSTANTLY in my face claiming to be an activist or a spokesperson but really ALL you do is post photos of your abs, and your boyfriends abs, and your trips to Fire Island, and your reality shows…..you don’t really know what an activist is or does and you should probably stop beating me over the head with that shit EVERY TIME I go to a gay-related website or magazine. And OBVIOUSLY, we won’t amount to one-tenth of what these people we besmirch possess (LOL). That’s not sad. That’s life. Why does that make my opinion invalid?

But hey, I get you….water seeks its own level.

There seem to be a great many busybody Fraus in this thread, clutching their pearls and getting their caftans in a bunch. Heavens! Let me see, what Olympic Level event could you judgy gals could possibly partake in? DataLounge postings? Ha! Sorry to disappoint you, ladies. You can’t win a medal for being an online trolly bitch. Medal winners or not, the gay visibility in this Olympic Games is unprecedented. Pence deserves the criticism thrown at him on social media. As does a certain “leader” of the Free World. Put your glass of Merlot down and be grateful a new generation of queens and queers have the balls to be authentic. Just because they don’t fight the fight the way you did, does not diminish it. You’re sure as hell not doing much of anything to further our fight, now are you?

[quote]You’re sure as hell not doing much of anything to further our fight, now are you?

We DEFINITELY know that you’re not....."Fiesta Ginger". Go back to "Straight Up Gay porn" and find more porn stars to stalk..er...worship. I mean follow.

yet he walks away as the hottest stud there

we love his ass tits and cock so very much....

mmmhmm r79 is right....

but r79 forgot about the endless parade of ass pics Gus has also provided the population with... no doubt taking 500 to find the perfect 1.

Did he ever post a pic of practice, btw? No? Too hetero & boring. for the followers.... I guess.

How did he injure himself so badly? In practices?

Unfortunately, too much butt-fucking can lead to terrible sports performances

Side effect of Truvada?

That’s what happens to WHORES.

that's what she gets for being an insufferable famewhore.

Already back to insta whoring

I don't find him attractive in the least but his insta page is no worse than anyone else

The bruise will go away, unfortunately that hideous tattoo won’t.

The round, protruding buttocks will remain as well r91.

He’s kind of flat actually. I’m not impressed.

His body will not age well. Such a sag coming.

R79 Your powers of observation are right up there with your comprehension. You know shit about me yet presume to just like many other humorless shit stains on this thread. Pontificate all you want then go back in the basement until daddy calls you to dinner. And if it's still not clear, go fuck yourself asshole as I'm sure you have great difficulty getting anyone else to do it.

Yet YOU know about US, right? While you’re looking for more ‘big words’ to impress us, why don’t you look up the word “Hypocrite.” Sorry to disappoint but...you ain’t complex. Your bitchy replies are ALL I need to know about you. You’re as deep as a puddle. Trust me, we ALL know that if the Toveys and the Kentworthys weren’t so hot, you’d be pounding on your keyboard saying the same thing.

It has nothing to do with humour. It’s just observation. I’d have more respect for these people if they’d actually admitted that coming out wasn’t altruistic. They just wanted more followers or people to fuck or a reality show. NOTHING wrong with that btw BUT let’s call a spade a spade.

What’s really sad is a lot of gay folks think that if you don’t watch Bravo, or listen to shitty music, or follow every indistinguishable “model”/philosophizing douchebag on social media, you HAVE to be a basement dwelling, unloved troll. Actually, I’m the complete opposite. No basement, “Seeing” someone etc. but thanks for your concern. You know….you should try thinking on your own, it’s liberating.

BTW, I didn't call YOU a teenager R95. I called the "Logic" behind your "He's better looking and more successful than you'll EVER be" response something that a teenager would post because it's kinda.....feeble-minded.

THAT'S all.

Gus will be a chunky mess when he’s older but he is fucking delicious right now.

That's the kind of bruise you get when an amateur hooks you up in the sling.

Another good looking young man who has ruined his body with hideous body "art".

R96 Again, you bandy about a mishmash of juvenile word slop and accuse me of using big words, then focus on bitchy and queen and other useless fucktard responses because you're butt hurt when someone holds an opposing view. And look at your fucking response where you don't mention the word logic, just the teenage reference. Oh yeah, I'm supposed to "infer" what you mean. Sorry Mary, I don't know how to navigate the mindset of whining jackasses who have nothing better to do than act superior and lecture about shit they know nothing about.

Gus who?
