Shaun White tearfully said goodbye to snowboarding after the legend retired from Olympic competition following his final run in the men’s halfpipe.
The American superstar came up short in his bid for a record fourth Olympic gold and wiped away tears as the crowd cheered him for the final time. His opponents embraced him in a truly emotive Olympic moment.
White spoke of his emotion and the difficulty in stepping away from the sport that he has dominated for two decades - but admitted he was looking forward to settling down and having a family with his actress girlfriend Nina Dobrev.
