‘I’m Disappointed’- Shaun White Frustrated After not Qualifying for Beijing Winter Olympics 2022

“The initial frustration has turned into an appreciation. I’m thankful to be uninjured, my team’s support, and two more opportunities to make the Olympic team,” White added.

Although the athlete did not make it to the Olympic team in the first go, he keeps his head high and begins his preparations for next week now. With two more chances to qualify, White is confident about his victory.
