"As a busy athlete training for the 2022 Winter Olympics my schedule is stacked with training, traveling and balancing career demands. Rest and recovery are essential to optimize performance as I continue to push my own physical limits," said Gus Kenworthy, two-time Olympic Skier and Olympic Silver Medalist. "beam's recovery and sleep lines are vital to that process and, now as an investor, I can support their mission to improve physical and mental wellness by prioritizing rest and recovery in a culture that glorifies overworking ourselves."

Kenworthy joins a world class roster of high-performing athletes and Olympians working with beam alongside two-time CrossFit champion, Katrn Davsdttir; Olympic Gold-medalist, Gwen Jorgensen; and 2021 Summer Olympian, Molly Seidel. The brand's organic growth has been accelerated by their athlete ambassador network, counting Danica Patrick, Baker Mayfield, Billy Horschel and Mat Fraser within their tribe as brand evangelists and agents.

"Gus joining our roster of athlete ambassadors will continue our mission to diversify our partners that are at the top of their sport. We pride ourselves in partnerships that happen organically -- beam is committed to working with community leaders that truly use our products to enhance their overall wellness," said Kevin Moran and Matt Lombardi, co-founders of beam.

Not only is Gus gearing up for his debut on Great Britain's team in the 2022 Winter Olympics, he has secured a spot on NBC's on-air talent roster to cover the 2021 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Kenworthy's alignment with beam naturally assists him to find balance for an array of upcoming projects for this year, in addition to continuing his support of a variety of humanitarian causes.
