Essex-born team GB athlete shares explicit protest ahead of Winter Olympics

On Feb 6, 2026, Team GB skier Gus Kenworthy shared an Instagram image appearing to show `F*** ice` urinated into the snow just before the Milan‑Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
Using a sample script, Kenworthy urged U.S. citizens to call their senators at 34 to demand accountability for ICE, advocating for limits and oversight.
With a large social following, Kenworthy, who switched from former Team USA representation to Team GB, has over 1.2 million Instagram followers and Olympic medals.
The IOC and British Olympic Association said he will not be censured because the post was on personal social media and outside the Olympic environment.
With ICE agents expected in Milan, Italy, alongside Vice‑President JD Vance, protests and backlash have intensified ahead of the Winter Olympics opening on Friday.
