Ouch! Team USA skier Gus Kenworthy shared a photo of a massive bruise on Instagram Tuesday, February 20, and we feel his pain.

Though Kenworthy didn’t take home a medal, he has been praised for being a face for the LGBT community during the Olympics. Kenworthy, who publicly came out in an ESPN interview in October 2015, spoke exclusively to Us Weekly about being an inspiration for other people. “I think I sometimes forget about it and then I’ll have an interaction with someone that will make me kind of remember and realize and it’s like the one thing that makes me the most proud of anything I’ve ever done in my life, because it’s been able to help over people,” he said.
