With the 2022 Winter Games being his last appearance at the Olympics, he intends to leave no stone unturned. However, when asked whether he would display any out-of-the-box tricks, he graciously talked about the possibilities.
Shaun White to debut a new trick?
With the quality of competitors taking part, White would hope to bring out his A-game in Beijing. It is no secret, Japan’s sensational Ayumu Hirano has tricks that no person has landed. A dominant threat to Shaun’s gold medal, he recently landed the triple cork trick, becoming the first person to do so.
After White’s incredible final run at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, he is once again expected to stun the audience in Beijing. Thus, when asked about the tricks up his sleeve, White was optimistic about putting something new on display, if needed.
“It’s nice to have a new trick, but it’s like, ‘can you put it down when you need to?’ And there’s still the whole rest of the run that you have to do. So, I don’t know.”
“Maybe at this event, or something else leading up to it, we’ll see where things are at. It’s definitely not off my radar. It’s something I really want to get in my bag of tricks, but I don’t know if it’s completely necessary to win. It hasn’t been so far,” said White.
A man capable of doing the extraordinary, White hopes to win his fourth gold medal during the upcoming Winter Olympics. He remains confident and focused ahead of his signature half-pipe competition.
