Kenworthy not only medaled in Russia, he also saved the Sochi strays, five dogs that had been living outside an Olympic media center.

"I never got to be proud of what I did 
in Sochi because I felt so horrible about what I didn't do," Kenworthy says. "I didn't want to come out as the silver medalist from Sochi. I wanted to come out as the best freeskier in the world."

"I was pretty adventurous and daring," Kenworthy says. "And I had rubber bones." One particularly impressive YouTube video of his skills, posted online when he was 16, landed him his first sponsors. He turned pro later that year.
Almost immediately, Kenworthy says, he felt pressure to fit in. Friends weren't an issue; he was good-looking and likable, the kind of guy who gets along with everyone. But girls were an inescapable part of the role. "In skiing, there's such an alpha male thing about pulling the hottest chicks," Kenworthy says. "I know hooking up with hot girls doesn't sound like the worst thing in the world. But I literally would sleep with a girl and then cry about it afterward. I'm like, 'What am I doing? 
I don't know what I'm doing.'"

It's one of the great moments in the sport, a staggering and unprecedented achievement that even a random spectator like me finds absolutely breathtaking. The man posted the video himself, saying:

My winning run from the Park City Grand Prix! So stoked to put a run with four doubles down to my feet and walk away with the win.
