Should Watch

Emotional Last Olympic Moments of Shaun White

I wrote “Must Watch” at first but then realized this isn’t going to be for everyone. The below video is just raw video footage of Shaun White before, during and after his last Olympic snowboarding run, with no commentary or reporters involved. I’ve never followed snowboarding too closely but Shaun White/Flying Tomato is a name I’ve known forever and definitely the face of Olympic Snowboarding for me. I really wish he got a medal on this last run but watching the video I doubt he’s going to dwell on that individual moment too much.

He’s a Gold Medalist in my heart forever. And I’m fully aware that I’m writing this like the second he retires he’s going to be put on a boat out to sea and never be seen again, I’ll stop that now.

Thank you Shaun for being an inspirational Olympian for the last five Olympics. I can’t wait to see what you do next. And if you want to sail into the west and explore the world out of the spotlight, you’ve earned it. Go Off King.
