Shaun White has already announced that this will be his last Olympic run. Before this, he has participated in 4 Olympic Games, winning the gold medal in 3 of them.

Hence, Shaun White is determined to add one more medal to his tally, bowing out as the champion that he is. As a result, White has been training hard for his performance, with less than 2 weeks for the Games to kick off.

The athlete has many things to prove that he needs all the support he can get. This time, White will be going as an underdog to Beijing, which means it is even more important for him to emerge victoriously.

Girlfriend Nina Dobrev is providing White with all the love and support he needs ahead of the showdown. On Monday, Dobrev shared some clips of White training on her Instagram story. The athlete is currently training in Colorado, and Dobrev is also there to accompany him.

Notably, the 35-year-old has his own halfpipe in Colorado, which was built for him by Red Bull. White uses this very halfpipe to train for his competitions.

As White will soon leave for the Olympic Games, it will be interesting to see whether or not he can retain his title.

White’s own little army

Shaun White has already eyed his post-Olympic business. He has launched his own lifestyle brand, “Whitespace”. Along with sportswear, the brand will produce snowboarding gear and other such goods.
