On the slope, Lindsey is way ahead of most of the athletes. However, the former freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy clearly devastated the skiing legend in the rap battle. While Lindsey made fun of his Olympic accomplishments, Gus was tormenting her for her injury-ridden career.

He said, “The way she talks about Olympics, you would never know. It’s because it’s been 8 fuc***g years since she brought home a gold. Keep your chin up don’t be the turd, at least in rap battles you can’t finish third. You got so many injuries it’s such a bad thing, I am surprised when you are rapping you don’t pull your hamstring.”
