When Adam Met Gus

Gus Kenworthy and Adam Rippon will now forever be “Gus and Adam” (or, as Rippon playfully points out, “Adam and Gus”). While the duo’s friendship started in an icy stadium thousands of miles from American shores, the legacy of their journey together–BFFs at first sight–has just begun. Click through to see their poolside reunion. 

For more from our May cover story with Adam Rippon and Gus Kenworthy, check out their childhood photos, see their poolside convo, and read their interview with each other.
