2018 Winter Olympics: Gus Kenworthy breaks thumb; he'll ski, but no handshake for Pence

Freeskier Gus Kenworthy broke his thumb in practice but will still compete here at the Olympics. The slopestyle silver medalist from Sochi tweeted a photo of an X-ray of his right thumb and one of it in a brace on Friday morning. Gus Kenworthy heads into his second Olympic Games as one of the most marketable athletes on the U.S. team.
“Broke my thumb yesterday in practice. It won't stop me from competing (obvi) but it does prevent me from shaking Pence's hand so... Silver linings! Will be giving my teammates (and literally everyone else) an enthusiastic "thumbs up!" of encouragement the rest of the trip.” While the injury won’t prevent Kenworthy from competing, it means he will most likely have to ski without poles.
