Winter Olympics Series Episode IV - Shaun White and Halfpipe Snowboarding

In the fourth episode of our ten-part Winter Olympics series we take a look at an Olympic and X-Games legend, Shaun White. Three Olympic gold medals in snowboarding alongside fifteen X-Games golds across snowboarding and skateboarding tell their own story, but White’s impact on the halfpipe goes beyond medal counts.

From a childhood spent chasing winter in California resort car parks to redefining what was physically possible on a snowboard, Shaun White helped drag halfpipe snowboarding into the mainstream and the Olympic big time.

We take a look at the next generation too with Chloe Kim, whose style and competitive mentality represent the sport’s modern era and the standards now expected at Olympic level.
