Aussie freeskier, Russ Henshaw, talks to Red Bull about preparations for the 2014 Olympic Games - and how to look hot while lifting weights at the gym...
How’s the knee recovery?
Really good! I’ve been doing a lot of biking and and hitting the weights.
Have you morphed into a shouty, testosterone gym head – tiny bits-of-string singlet, grunting and glaring in the mirror?
Yeah, I just flex all the time. Ha! The main thing is to drop the weights so they make a huge crash, and then before they hit the floor you’ve gotta be flexing – so all the people will look over at you.
And your old man donated a part of his hamstring. That’s pretty cool.
Yeah! It helps when it’s a tissue match. He’s a good bloke.
Chilling! You know your dad’s going to cash that cheque one day. Has he got dibs on any of your organs?
Not that I know of – or not yet, anyway. I’ll be worried if he starts eyeing up one of my kidneys…
And Slopestyle is in the Winter Olympics. Stoked?
Yeah! It’s another goal that I can set myself and it’s a dream come true to represent my country, so I was super stoked.
The 2014 ’Games is in Soichi. Been there?
Never been to Russia. I don’t know what it’s like.
Apparently there are a lot of bear fur hats.
Yeah, I’ve heard that. I’ve heard about their vodka as well. And apparently they have lots of guns. Could be a dangerous combination, ha!
