In 2015, Gus Kenworthy became the first Olympic skier to publicly come out as gay. He's developed into somewhat of a triple-threat. He started as an athlete, he's made his debut as an actor, and he has become an activist for the LGBT community.
Freestyle skiing became a regular Olympic discipline in 1992, 63 years after the first Academy Awards took place, 23 years before same-sex marriage was legalized in all American states, and 22 years before it was legalized in the United Kingdom.
What's the correlation between the three? It's Gus Kenworthy. The ski star was born in Chelmsford, northeast of London, to a British mother and an American father before moving to Telluride, Colorado, at age 2. "We fell in love with skiing together," Kenworthy told CNN Sport's Alex Thomas."She learned when she was 40 and I was 3. I just want to do it for my mum. She's been my No. 1 fan and No. 1 supporter.
