Gus Kenworthy just misses first X Games title

Gus Kenworthy had the best ski halfpipe run of his life Friday, but it wasn’t enough for his first X Games title.

Kenworthy, the Olympic ski slopestyle silver medalist who came out in October, had the second- and third-best scores of the night on the first two of his three runs.

But the final skier, France’s Kevin Rolland, overtook Kenworthy with a 93.33-point third run. Full results are here.

“So much pressure, but I think I’m used to it,” Rolland, the Olympic bronze medalist and 2010 and 2011 X Games champion, said on ESPN.
