gravity, sometimes as great britain's gus kenworthy found out... gravity wins. thrills are often followed by spills, remarkably, he dusted off the snow and dusted off his skis again to deliver a swansong. his skis again to deliver a swansong— his skis again to deliver a swanson. �* , . , his skis again to deliver a swansonu. �* , . , ., swansong. i'm 'ust really happy to be walkin: swansong. i'm just really happy to be walking and — swansong. i'm just really happy to be walking and to _ swansong. i'm just really happy to be walking and to land _ swansong. i'm just really happy to be walking and to land a _ swansong. i'm just really happy to be walking and to land a run - swansong. i'm just really happy to be walking and to land a run and l swansong. i'm just really happy to i be walking and to land a run and get through it in one piece and i am super excited for the guys that are skiing, in pretty adverse conditions for some it's going to be a good show, despite how gnarly it has out here. ., . ., here. the gold medal went to new zealand, his _ here. the gold medal went to new zealand, his first _ here. the gold medal went to new zealand, his first run _ here. the gold medal went to new zealand, his first run lay _ here. the gold medal went to new zealand, his first run lay down - here. the gold medal went to new zealand, his first run lay down a i zealand, his first run lay down a marker nobody could match. and he celebrated the only way new zealand knows how. cheering the wind that wreaked havoc on the have to cut the cross country combined with temperatures around -30, the 50 k combined with temperatures around —30, the 50 k became a 28 k, decision met with a frosty reception. i decision met with a frosty reception-— decision met with a frosty recetion. ., �* ~ ., . , reception. i don't know what they are thinking- _ reception. i don't know what they are thinking. shortening - reception. i don't know what they are thinking. shortening the - are thinking. shortening the
