U.S. free skier Hunter Hess' Winter Olympics came to an end on Friday, Feb. 20 with the men's freeski halfpipe at the Livigno Snow Park.
But before Hess competed in the medal round of the event, he flashed an "L" over his forehead at the end of his qualification run that was directed to President Donald Trump, who called Hess a "real loser" on social media following Hess' comments about how it is difficult to represent the United States at the Winter Olympics due to the country's current political division.
"Apparently I'm a loser," Hess said into the camera after his qualifying run.
