(Photo by Quinn Rooney/Getty Images)[/caption]
<h2><b>Shaun White’s early life and family</b></h2>
Shaun White was born in San Diego, California on 3rd September 1986 to parents Cathy and Roger White.  He was born with a Tetralogy of Fallot, a congenital heart defect for which he required two open-heart operations before the age of one.

Shaun graduated from California’s Carlsbad High School and didn't manage to enroll in college for he had already started to lay the foundation in the snowboarding arena.

The snowboarder has two siblings, Kari White (sister) and Jesse White (brother). His brother motivated him to take up snowboarding as a career. Interestingly, now Jesse White remains Shaun’s best friend and business manager. On the other hand, Kari White also chose a vocation in snowboarding and went with her brother to the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang.
<h2><b>Shaun White’s snowboarding career</b></h2>
At a very early age, Shaun's talent was noticed by the legendary skateboarder Tony Hawk. Shaun started training under Tony at the age of 9, and by 16, he was a professional skateboarder. Interestingly, he had started his journey in skiing before switching to skateboarding.

White started competing at the X Games, and notably, he has clinched every medal at the games since 2000. In 2006, he made his maiden Olympics appearance at the Winter Olympics and clinched the gold medal in the half-pipe event.

In 2008, White released his own video game named <em>'Shaun White Snowboarding'</em>, which became the 20th best-selling game in the USA. White had his second Olympic appearance in 2010, at the Vancouver Winter Olympics, and again clinched the gold medal.

In the 2016 Winter Olympics, he again reclaimed his title by clinching the gold medal. Remarkably, he had faced a major injury leading to 62 stitches on his face, albeit he still outclassed everyone. His gold medal marked the 100th win for Team USA at the Winter Olympics.
