UPDATE: Olympic Medalist Gus Kenworthy Still Waiting to Take Rescued Puppies Home

We mentioned a few days ago that Olympic athlete Gus Kenworthy decided to take home with him to Colorado four puppies and their mother after discovering them homeless in Russia and he wasn't kidding. It turns out that the skier is having some trouble getting the necessary paperwork in order for the long trip home. A U.S. skiing official reported that Kenworthy had to push back his plans to return home in order to solidify the adoption.

It turns out that the 22-year-old silver medalist has many admirers for his devotion to the dogs in need. Miley Cyrus tweeted to him Sunday:
