Shaun White Doesn't Medal In Final Olympic Run; Fans Celebrate Him As The GOAT
Shaun White raises his helmet high after his final Olympic run on the halfpipe.
The 35-year-old athlete had an amazing first two runs, which put him in 4th place at the end of the second run at the 2022 Beijing Games.
Unfortunately, Shaun did fall on his third run, which means he’s out of contention for a medal.
Last weekend, Shaun announced that he’d be retiring from competition after these Olympic games, and this was his final competitive run ever.
While he didn’t medal at his final Olympics, Shaun has received a ton of support online from fans.
“Rock on @shaunwhite. What a ride it’s been. Wish it could have ended differently but you are the man. #Respect,” one fan wrote on Twitter.

My mom has been watching Shaun White snowboard since his first Olympics.
May not be the gold but hell he did amazing for a snowboarder his age.

Respect for Shaun White. Huge influence to me when I was a newbie snowboarder xx years ago. End of an era. He inspired probably all of the winners today. Great legacy. No medal necessary.
