Four Americans, including one Trump called a 'loser,' reach the Olympic freeski halfpipe final

American freeskier Hunter Hess and three of his teammates have qualified for Friday’s 12-man halfpipe Olympic final, when they will have a shot at delivering the first gold medal in nearly two weeks of freeskiing or snowboarding at the Livigno snow park. Hess was thrust into the spotlight at the Milan Cortina Games when U.S. President Donald Trump called him a “loser” after the athlete had said that "just because I’m wearing the flag doesn’t mean I represent everything that’s going on in the U.S.” Hess made a “L” sign with his hand, with L meaning “loser,” against his helmet after his first qualifying run on Friday.
