USA freeskier Gus Kenworthy adopts a puppy at 2018 Winter Olympics

For the second consecutive Olympics, the American freeskier is going home with a pet. After touring a dog farm in South Korea on Friday, Kenworthy posted a photo with the puppy — a girl named Beemo — and a lengthy note.

“I cannot wait to give her the best life possible!” he said.

Kenworthy, 26, first drew global attention for adopting a family of stray dogs after the Sochi Olympics four years ago.

His boyfriend at the time, Robin Macdonald, stayed in Russia for an extra month to take them home. Mamuchka, the mother of the litter, lives in Colorado with Kenworthy’s mother, Pip.
