In recent times, Shaun White and Nina Dobrev have been one of the most popular couples. Nina has been the biggest support for Shaun while coursing through the last few days of his snowboarding journey. Be it the qualifiers or the Beijing Winter Olympics, she was always there for him. The two are almost inseparable, and now that the Olympic champion?Shaun White [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/shaun-roger-white/]?is officially retired, the couple spends most of the time with each other. Post Beijing Winter Olympics, the couple went on a much-awaited trip to Costa Rica. While the world was still mourning Shaun White’s retirement news, they flooded their social media handles with the vacation pictures. THROWBACK TO THE SHAUN WHITE AND NINA DOBREV’S HALLOWEEN 2021 COSTUME After the Netflix series, Queen’s Gambit was released, the popularity of chess escalated tremendously. However, while everyone started playing chess, Shaun and Nina thoughtfully spent their time recreating the iconic look from the series for Halloween 2021. Although the actual fun was watching, Shaun portray Beth Harmon, and Nina as the US chess champion, Benny Watts. Imagine if Shaun White also visualized himself snowboarding on the roof, just like Beth Harmon’s chess pieces in the Queen’s Gambit show. Do you think it would have altered the results in his last run at the Olympics? It would certainly have made a great snowboarding movie though.

<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.
