It felt like all of Team USA stepped up to back him, he said, as well as the dozens of friends and family members in town for the Games and those following along from his hometown of Bend, Ore. Hess said the messages \u201cmeant the world to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTeam USA has really helped me get back on my feet,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7059935\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<div class=\"wp-caption-image-container\">\n<div class=\"inline-credits\">\n<p>\n      <span class=\"credits-text\">Hunter Hess pictured during his first run in the men\u2019s freeski halfpipe qualification. (Kirill Kudryavstev \/ AFP via Getty Images)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The United States\u2019 Chloe Kim and China\u2019s Eileen Gu were supportive of Hess when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7032765\/2026\/02\/09\/chloe-kim-president-trump-hunter-hess\/\">asked about Trump\u2019s remarks last week.<\/a> \u201cThe whole point of sport is to bring people together,\u201d said Gu, the 22-year-old five-time Olympic medalist from San Francisco. \u201cAs someone who has got caught in the crossfire before, I feel sorry for the athletes. I hope that they can ski to their very best.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7033509\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\">\n<p>Goepper, a four-time Olympian and three-time medalist, has seen firsthand the way Team USA has picked up Hess amid the controversy. \u201cI just think from a human level, it\u2019s been (a lot of ) very big love and support for Hunter,\u201d Goepper said. \u201cI\u2019m impressed with how he\u2019s handled all that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Most Winter Olympians aren\u2019t used to that kind of attention, especially freestyle skiers. But Friday there were two competing who had been under the spotlight during these politically charged Olympics. Gus Kenworthy, who won Olympic silver for the United States in 2014 but is now representing Great Britain, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7018349\/2026\/02\/17\/gus-kenworthy-interview-2026-winter-olympics\/\">made headlines for his criticism of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).<\/a> In an Instagram post last week, the three-time world champion said he had received threats on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was tough. No-one wants to read bad things about themselves, things that are threats and violent and scary and homophobic,\u201d Kenworthy, who is gay, told BBC Sport. \u201cI also took it with a grain of salt. I couldn\u2019t imagine writing something like that about someone, especially on a public forum, anyone who does that has something wrong with them. I think I\u2019m on the right side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For Hess, his excellent qualifying runs quieted his nerves and helped him fight through some serious injuries in the process. He bettered his first-run score of 82.75 with an 85.00 the second time out, good enough for fifth overall in a field of 25 competitors. All four American \u2014 Hess, Goepper, Irving and Alex Ferreira \u2014 finished inside the top six.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI definitely wear it with some pride,\u201d Hess said of Friday morning\u2019s performance. \u201cI\u2019m just so, so lucky to be here in the first place and to be representing Team USA. Whatever I can do to make my friends and my family and my country proud, I\u2019m happy to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What makes Hess\u2019 performance even more impressive is that it came a few days after a nasty fall in practice. He suffered a hematoma in his right hip that required a blood drain Thursday night. He had an MRI on his shoulder that revealed bone bruising. He may or may not have broken his hand, he said. And he\u2019s been slogging through persistent pain in his knee throughout the ski season.<\/p>\n<p>Adding to the physical toll, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7058112\/2026\/02\/19\/winter-olympics-snow-disruption-events-postponed\/\">due to heavy snow this week in Livigno<\/a> halfpipe qualifications were moved from Thursday to Friday. Hess said the last time he had qualifiers the same day as a final he was \u201cmaybe 12.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so happy just to be skiing and riding to the best of my ability right now,\u201d Hess said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis sport is my lifeline. It\u2019s everything to me. So to be able to come out here and put down a run I\u2019m proud of and happy with means the world to me \u2026 I wear this flag with pride. I\u2019m so honored to be on the team and representing with my teammates.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/7059744\/2026\/02\/20\/hunter-hess-president-trump-controversy\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LIVIGNO, Italy \u2014 After the onslaught, Hunter Hess found a way to have fun with it, appearing to shape both hands to form the letter \u2018L\u2019 after his first competitive appearance in these Games since President Donald Trump\u2019s remarks about him.
