[dramatic music playing]

-[Esther Lee] Whoa!
-[Shaun White] Whoa!

[Shaun laughs]

[Esther] Oh, my God.
That's so good.

[both laughing]

[Esther] No...

[both laughing]

-I met a dinosaur.
-[laughs]

Wow.

-[Esther] That's so cool.
-[Shaun] It's official.

-[coordinator]
Nice to see you.
-[Shaun] Yeah.

[coordinator] Um, you've worn
Opening and Closing already

-for the photoshoot, right?
-[Shaun] Yeah, of course.

[coordinator] All right, cool.
So we'll just put it
all on again.

-[Shaun] All right.
-[coordinator] Our tailor
will make sure

that if we need
to take anything in...

[Shaun] Take it in and, yeah.

[coordinator] And then
we'll have you on your way.

-[Shaun] Okay, cool.
-[coordinator] Painless.

[Shaun] This is
kind of the fun

before it gets
real crazy. [chuckles]

[camera shutter clicking]

It's all coming together.
Like, it's all...

"Yeah, okay,
I got COVID at this point,

and then this happened.
We had to fly to here..."

Like, look at all the stuff
that did work out.

I'm feeling strong.
The legs are great.

The knee is cooperating.
My ankle's cooperating.

Like, the tricks
are coming around.

Esther got her visa, like...

We're going...

...and we're gonna
make the best out of it.

[coordinator] So, family
can't go over though, right?

Yeah, unfortunately.

-Yeah.
-[coordinator] That's a drag.

Kind of crazy.

[birds chirping]

[Nina Dobrev] Okay.

I love you, Uncle Shaun!

[Nina on video]
Say, "Go get 'em!"

-I can't.
-[Nina laughs]

-All right.
-Hi.

Surprise!

I wanted to make
this video for you

because I wanted you to know
how much I love you,

and how much
everyone loves you,

and how supported you are.

And just like everyone else,

I'm obviously
super, super bummed

that my visa
didn't get approved
to go to China.

-[Shaun] Oh, God.
-But I found one solution.

[grunts]

-[Nina laughs]
-[Shaun] Oh, my God.

See you in China!

Go, Shauny, go!

[laughs]

[Toby Miller]
Olympics number five?

[Shaun] Tobe!

[Toby] That is...

That's crazy.

-You're just--
You're insane, man.
-[Shaun] Aw.

I'm so proud of you.

Go enjoy Beijing.

Kill it, have so much fun
and do what you do best.

Make us proud.

-You're gonna kick ass.
-That's the plan.

-I love you.
-I love you, too.

Hey, Bella.

I'll see you in a bit.

[Tony Hawk]
What's up? It's Tony.

I can't believe this is
your fourth. Are you for real?

-Um...
-[Shaun] "He means
your..." [laughs]

I'd like to tell you
that you're getting too old,
but I don't--

I-- I wouldn't know
what that means,

-so keep at it.
-[Shaun laughs]

[Tony] Good luck.
We're rooting for you.

[Kari White] I feel like
it was just yesterday

we were kids
dreaming up of going
to the Olympics,

and you've done it
five times. [laughs]

Five. That's sick.

What?

You know, just thinking
about the journey

that you've been on
to get back here,

I know what it means to you.

Oh, my God,
you absolute legend, you.

You're doing it again.

[Esther] Here we go.

-Dr. White.
-[Shaun] Dr White,
reporting in.

One, two, three.

[both laugh]

I'm so proud of you,
and I love you so much.

I don't know, I wish...

...you know, [chuckles]
it could've been
like the old days

when we could've all been
there together or whatever,

[chuckles] but that's
not gonna happen.

-[Nina] Aw.
-Thank you so much.

[sniffles]

[uplifting music playing]

[teammate] Getting rowdy, bro.

Oh, my gosh.

[Shaun] We're doing it.

We made it.

[Nina] Such a cool outfit.

Nice.

Wait, get it... Look at this.

Oh, I'm so excited
for you, Shaun!

[Shaun] Look,
I got my necklace.

Lucky, lucky, lucky.

[Shaun] Starting the march.

-[all cheering]
-Whoa!

Whoo!

[announcer]
United States of America.

[Shaun] Number five,
here we go. [chuckles]

-[greeter] Welcome to China!
-[Shaun chuckling]

Thank you! Hi!

-[greeter] Welcome!
-[Shaun] Whoo! [chuckles]

[wind blowing]

["King of a One Horse
Town" playing]

* Every day is just
a little white lie *

* Telling myself
I'm gettin' by *

* I just stay in this room
and cry *

* The snow, it covers up
the ground *

* King of a one horse town *

* I'm the king
of a one horse town *

* And I barely pull
my weight around *

[music fading]

[music playing from TV]

[commentator 1] Well, it's one
of the most anticipated events
of these Olympic Winter Games.

The Men's Halfpipe
is about to get underway

where the charismatic American
Shaun White will be
looking to claim

an astonishing
fourth gold medal.

[commentator 2] Take a look
at these ages, Todd.

I know age is just a number,

but in this sport
where you take a beating,

Shaun White, 35,

clearly older than the rest
of the contenders
in this field.

[Cathy White] Ryan, no!

-Nobody opens
the fortune cookies.
-[Kari laughs]

[Kari] I silently stress,
but she gets crazy.

She's usually at the bathrooms

-right now. [laughs]
-Yeah, I'll leave the room.

And then I'll go,
"Did he fall? Did he fall?
Is he okay? Is he okay?"

It's usually good luck
when you say how good
everyone else is.

[commentator 2] As we kick
things off, Todd,

-with a very heavy start
to this contest.
-[commentator 1] Oh, boy.

Ayumu Hirano.

He has been
on an absolute tear

-in the pipe as of lately.
-[Cathy groans]

[commentator 2] He has been
the silver medalist

of the last two Games
behind Shaun White.

[Kari] Here he goes.

-[commentator 2] Here he goes.
-[commentator 1] "Here we go"
is right. I...

-Oh, my God.
-[commentator 2 chuckles]

Ayumu Hirano coming out
into this qualifier

straight blazing guns.

That first hit was insane.

[Kari] Don't look at that.
We'll go outside
if you want.

[commentator 1] It's a good
thing that Shaun's back there,

because he's not gonna
wanna see this right here.

This kid is on a rampage,
ladies and gentlemen.

[Cathy exclaims worriedly]

I just need a cleaning
right now. [laughs]

[commentator 2]
And here we go.

Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
I can't watch.

[Cathy groans]

[commentator 3] 35-year-old
Shaun White
in his fifth Olympics.

The time has come for him
to step up and qualify.

[sighs] Oh, God.

This is, like, painstaking.

Why did he do this
to us again?

[commentator 3] You gotta
wonder if this is Shaun's
Tiger Woods moment

from the 2019 Masters.

Can he step up
and bring back the magic?

Come on, Shauny!

[groans]

[commentator 3] He needs
to qualify first,

and here he goes, Shaun White.

Two runs to get
into the final.

[commentator 2] Lots of speed,
a mega Shaun-White pump
into the first hit.

[Kari] Jesus, he's going huge.

[commentator 2] Giant
Frontside 1080.

Another 1080.

Lots of speed.

Lot of pipe left as well.

Big Frontside.

540 into the Double
McTwist, folks. 60...

-[crowd gasping]
-Whoa... And slides out.

-[Cathy] No!
-He sketched it.
He sketched it.

-Aw.
-[commentator 3] ...he hasn't
done before...

Fuck.

[commentator 2] Shaun White
now relying on run number two

to bounce him into that final.

And now, we've got
a pressure cooker situation
for Shaun White.

-[Cathy] My worst nightmare.
-[Kari] This is my--

I literally feel like
we should turn it off.

[Cathy] Why don't we do that?

Okay.

Let's just go to bed
and we'll find out
in the morning what happens.

[Jesse White] Where you going?

[Kari] We're gonna just drive.

We're having anxiety.

[commentator 2] So this will
be a throwaway score.

It's not gonna get him
into the top 12, a 24.25,

and Shaun White,
been in this situation before.

It will come down
to one run for him
just to get into the final.

It's as if everything
around Genting Snow Park
has come to a stop

as everyone has
turned their attention
to the superpipe.

This could be the last run
of Shaun White's
competitive career.

If Shaun does not get better
than a 58.50,

his Olympic run is over.

[commentator 3] Here we go.
Shaun White.

Three-time gold medalist
trying to qualify
to go after a fourth.

Giant Frontside 1080 for Shaun
to start off his run.

Double 1080 there.

There's the huge
Frontside 540 Stalefish.

This is where he had problems
on run number one.

Is he gonna nail it this time?

He does, nails it.

Shaun just needs
to cruise this hit.

-Land it, Shaun.
- [exclaiming]

[commentator 3] Frontside 12,
clutch. In a pinch,
comes through.

[exclaiming]

[commentator 2] And most
of America has just taken

a collective deep breath.

[people cheering]

[commentator 2] Whitespace
is in.

86.25, jumps up to fourth.

The weight of the world lifted
off Shaun White's shoulders

as he jumps into fourth place.

Todd, it's such
a relief for him,

but Shaun now has
to regroup in 48 hours

and do it all over again
with a 3-run format.

[Shaun exclaiming]

I was just thinking
about my mom.

[chuckles] 'Cause she's like,

-"You always do this.
The last run."
-[Esther laughs]

"You always do that."

[Jesse] You were worried? Why?

[Cathy] I just don't
want him sad.

You know, like,
if he doesn't do well,

I feel bad to think he's sad.
I don't know what to do.

He's such a shit.
He makes me go
through so much crap.

[groans]

[Esther] Oh, boy.
Come on, Mom. Answer, Mom.

What are they, like,
drinking and celebrating?

[laughs]

-[champagne bottle pops]
-[Kari exclaims and claps]

[all cheering]

-[Jesse] Finals!
-[Kari] Yeah, we made it
to the finals!

-[Cathy cheers]
-[Kari] Number five!

-[laughing]
-[Jesse] He had the best day.

-[Esther] No...
-[chuckles] Uh-oh, my turn.

-[both exclaiming]
-Gotta keep it together.

-[both laugh]
-[Esther sniffles]

-[Shaun] Aw.
-[Esther] Oh... [laughs]

[Shaun laughs]

[Nina] Your mom.
Your poor mom.

-I was-- [chuckles]
-Did they answer?

No, she freaking
out. [chuckling]

Yeah.

-[laughing] Poor Cathy.
-[Esther laughing]

-I've done this to her
five times now. [laughs]
-[Esther laughs]

Oh, poor Cath.

-[Esther laughs]
-[Shaun] Ah...

[commentator on video] ...big
twist...

[cheers]

Thirty-five! Whoo!

I was literally doing my runs,

thinking about, like,
in between that fall
and the next run,

-and I was like, "Cathy's
gotta be losing it right now."
-[Esther laughs]

She's like, "He always
does this. He always
does this!"

[laughing]

-It's never easy. [chuckles]
-[Nina chuckling]

[Shaun exclaiming]

[exclaiming]

[grunts]

[exhales]

Just a little stiff,
and there's still
stitches in my tongue, but--

Okay.

All in all, I feel good.
I'm like, ready to get
back riding again.

And I don't wanna, like,
let it build in my mind,
and then

be hesitant when I tour again.

Like, I know exactly
what went wrong.

-[grunts]
-Went up to do a Double 14
in the pipe and...

-[grunts]
-Just took off too soon.

Completed the trick perfectly,
but when I came around,
I was over the deck.

-And, uh...
-[subdued music playing]

Just wanna go do it again.

Get the kind of...

hesitation and fear
out of my mind, you know?

I don't know, say you're
in a-- A boxing match
with somebody.

And, uh...

you take a hit
and they, like--

Everything that they got,
and they hit you.

And you're still standing.
You're like, "Oh...

...okay." [laughs] You know
what I mean? Like...

I just took their best,
and like-- And I'm still okay.

That's why I'm excited
to go back.

I'm just gonna go
give it everything I have,
and I know I'm gonna make it.

[vehicle rumbling]

[sighs
and whispers indistinctly]

Can't sleep. [laughs]

Been up since,
like, 4 a.m. [chuckles]

[Toby] Hey.

What time is it?

-It's one in the afternoon.
-No, it's not.

-It is.
-No, it's not.

[Toby] Yeah.

[breathing out slowly]

[Toby] Do you feel like
you're back on track
after the injury?

Um...

I don't know.

You know, there's a plan,
and then there's like,
the real plan of life.

And... [chuckles]
it doesn't really--

Life's plans don't really need
to match up with mine.

They always just do
what they're gonna do.

So, I guess
that was part of the plan.

You know, was to get hurt.

-One more big breath.
-[breathes deeply]

The sport pushed back
on us for sure.

That day, I wasn't ready
for it. He wasn't, either.

We're such
a tight little unit.

And I don't-- I don't think
I would've handled it
as well if--

If I didn't have Toby there
and vice-versa, you know. He--

We're all just really
helping each other.

Ow! [chuckling]

I mean, there's a bit
of PTSD after something
like that.

Kind of wanna shoot one
at Shaun,

but I'm scared
it's gonna burn
a hole in the couch.

[laughs]

[Toby] Apple sitting
on your lap?

[Shaun] Is there apple
on my lap?

[JJ] And I just felt it.
We gotta get back into it
after something like that.

-So...
-[both exhaling]

The thing to do is come
to this beautiful place
and get the--

Get the gang back
together and...

Just do what we do,
which is snowboarding.

[fun music playing]

[Toby] Yes, Shaun!

It's a pow day, baby!

Oh, dude, it's fresh, chowdy!

Fucking big boys gone wild!

When I'm following you guys,
and you do shit like this,
I'm just trying to not die.

-[JJ exclaims]
-[Toby] Yeah, J!

Good trick, dog.

You got Shaun, like,
going for it.

The old washed-up coach,
like, trying to get him there.

And the young, like,
service animal, Toby.

This, like, sweetest kid ever.

-[laughing]
-[Toby laughing]

Me and Shaun
were pretty stressed.

And Toby's just like...
[exclaims in a funny voice]
"Dude! Like, it's so fun!"

And we're like, [sighing]
"All right, dude,
we need you."

Oh, dude, it's really steep
right there.

[JJ] That's why we need
to get moving.

There's people.
They're looking.

-[chuckling]
-Oh, dude.

-Here we go. Here we go.
-[JJ laughs]

[Shaun] Something's
gonna happen.

Oh, hi.

[Shaun laughs] Oh, shit.

-[chuckling]
-[JJ] Toby's going too fast.

Is there such a thing?

-[Toby] J!
-[Shaun exclaims and laughs]

[JJ snorts and laughs]

[Shaun] He's terrible.

[Toby and JJ laughing]

-[Toby exclaims]
-We were just friends
hanging out, doing...

You know, dumb stuff
around the mountain.

-[JJ exclaims]
-[Shaun] Oh, there
you go. [laughs]

A lot of people have told me
it was good that, you know,

I would kind of distract him
from the things stressing
him out at the time.

[Shaun] Still slightly
warming up, but I don't know.

Every day's kind of like
a building block,
so we'll see what happens.

[dynamic music playing]

Looking back, I now realize
I had my whole family
with me my entire career.

You know, traveling
in the van, showing up
at the competitions,

always being there
for the ups and downs,
and then...

You know, I kind of left
the family behind to go
do my thing.

And at a certain point,
I just, like...

I needed that back in my life.

I was rebuilding
that family support.

[laughing]

[Toby] He just became
a happier snowboarder,
and I think he--

I think he honestly just
found new love for the sport.

[dynamic music continues]

[JJ] I think anyone else
who crashes like that

doesn't show up in Austria
and rip like he's doing
right now.

He's just that determined.

[JJ] Yeah, you gotta fucking
do it, man.

-Memories, fuck it.
-That needs time.

[Shaun] You know,
you take a big crash...

And instead of letting
it mess with you,

you just get back out,
you face the fears, and...

You kind of step-by-step
get over it.

And then you're off
to the next big tricks...

...that'll make you
crash. [laughs]

I guess. [chuckling]

[sighing]

Been doing this
for a while, guys. [laughs]

[machine beeping]

All right, big stretch.

And then,
tip your tongue up here.

Any pain up there?
Pinching against it?

[Shaun] All right.

Qualies day. Here we go.

First comp of the season.

[people cheering]

[slaps hand and thumps back]

[commentator] There's that
Double McTwist 1260.

Now, few years back,
Shaun was the only one
to do that 1260.

But you know what?
Times, they are a-changing.

These Japanese riders
are handing it to Shaun
in his own department.

Perfection. See how tight
he lands the top of that lip?

Carrying all that speed!

Ayumu. We have a new leader.

[quiet music playing]

First storm of the season.
Challenging is the word.
Challenging.

[chuckles]

And the best
attitudes survive.

Let's go!

[man] Yeah, Shaun!

[people exclaiming]

Fuck.

[reporter] Now, let's go
back a month to mid-December

at the previous
Olympic selection event.

Now, Shaun White
didn't even qualify
into the finals.

And it was a major shocker.

Now, the Shaun White
that I know...

When something like that
happens, it absolutely
infuriates him,

and it lights a fire,
and I'll tell you what.

I've been watching him
in practice. He's just
riding smoother.

He's going bigger.

Riding with the confidence
that we're used to seeing
from Shaun White.

[photographer] Yeah.
All right!

[indistinct chatter]

[commentator] We are in store
for a great day of competition
here at Snowmass.

The math is simple. Win,
and you could be in.

And this is a very big event
for the two-time Olympic
gold medalist Shaun White.

[commentator 2] He was
the last man to take
the second run,

with a third still going.

His coach, bronze medalist
JJ Thomas, up there with him.

And Shaun, trying
to find the magic.

[exciting music playing]

[commentator] Laser-focused
here. Straight-up
into a giant Dub 10.

[commentator 2] Fell on this
the first run. Is he gonna
get it off? He does.

There's the Double McTwist
1260. Does he have
enough speed? Enough room?

-Big Double 12!
-[commentator 1 exclaims]

[commentator 2] Butt-drags
in the flat bottom.

That run was going so well.

[people cheering]

[commentator 1] If Shaun
was sitting in dead last,

this will be an improvement,
but he sits in ninth place.

But he has one more run
to make it all good.

[Toby] You got it, brother.
They can't keep up with you.

You do what you do best.

[commentator 2] Scotty James,
out of Australia. The next man
to drop in

on his third and final run.

-Let's see if he can put
it together right now.
-[man] You got it, James.

[commentator 2] Front 12
to get things going.

Leads right into
the Backside 12.

It's back to back,
1260s done with perfection
up top.

This is a big setup for him!

Switch Backside! What!
He's got it!

-Switch Backside, 1080.
-[people cheering]

[commentator 2] That's gonna
be in the top score.
Oh, my gosh. Give it to him.

Give him the score!

-[commentator 1] And
the judges do, a 96.25!
-[commentator 2] Boom!

[people cheering]

[commentator 2] Shaun White
will be the last man
with the opportunity

to unseat Scotty James,

and, with a win, confirm
his nomination to the team.

So, Scotty just puts down
this insane run
that he'd been working on.

He finally nailed it.

-Good luck.
-[Shaun] Thank you.

And I'm trying to decide
on what my last trick
is gonna be,

'cause that's the one
that I fell on.

Okay, what do you think?

[JJ] Let's do it.
Let's turn the volume up, man.

[Shaun] And then JJ,
out of nowhere, says,
"Do the 1440."

14 sounds okay, but...

Listen, just slice this thing.

[Shaun] And I'm like, "Bro,
at the bottom?" He's like,
"No, on the first hit."

Oh, 14 first hit. Oh. Uh...

I remember reluctantly
agreeing with him.

And it was like... [laughs]

It was like...

You know, being in a fight
with your girlfriend,
and you're like,"You're good?"

She's like, "Yeah, I'm great."

The start-gate official
looks at me,
and they're like... "Go."

[JJ] And we didn't even
discuss the bottom 'cause
we just didn't have time.

They were telling him to go.
I was just thinking...

"Man, I'm either gonna be
a hero, or I'm gonna get fired
for this one."

[commentator 1] No stranger
to pressure,

Shaun White. Right there
behind him, JJ Thomas...

-[commentator 2] Oh,
here we go.
-2002 Olympic bronze medalist.

-[commentator 2] Dropping in.
Third and final run.
-[people cheering]

[commentator 2] Put your hands
together for Shaun White,

our final competitor
here today.

[commentator 1] Going for it
right now. 1440 stomped.

Oh, boy, he's going
for the win.

Cab Double 1080,
and there it is.

The Skyhook,
making it all his own
into the Tomahawk, stomped!

And I'm going in the last hit,
going, "We never decided
what this hit was gonna be."

What do I do? And I'm riding
up the wall, going, "I guess
I go for the 12, because..."

[laughs] At this point,
why not?

-[commentator 2] Front 12--
-[commentator 1 exclaiming]

-[people cheering]
-[commentator 1] Shaun White!
Shaun White!

Shaun White on the final...
Final run of the day!
Dropping bombs!

Oh, my-- Look at him!

[commentator 2] Wow,
you have just witnessed
the best contest

-in snowboard
halfpipe history.
-[commentator 1] What!

[commentator 2] We have
never seen anything like that.

[commentator 1] What does
Shaun White come away
with on this one?

It comes down to this.
The final score. The--

-[shouts] A perfect 100!
-[all cheering]

-[commentator 1] Are you
kidding me? A perfect 100!
-[commentator 2 exclaiming]

-[commentator 1] A perfect
100!
-[commentator 2] Wow!

[commentator 1] Oh,
my goodness!

I've never seen
anything like it!

[people cheering loudly]

[commentator 3] Welcome
to Team USA, Shaun White.

Fuck yeah! [laughing]

[commentator 3] As
he is returning
to the Olympic Games.

-Okay!
-Like, you get to the top
of the pipe,

and everybody's kind
of like silent, and I look
at the score.

-I'm just like...
[exclaims loudly]
-[laughs]

I was like, "Did that really
just happen?"

So stoked for you!

[reporter] We have Shaun White
here, just confirmed
his nomination

to his fourth Olympic team.

[man] How does it feel, coach?

It feels so good.

I just got my emotions under
control. I've been crying
for the last 10 minutes.

[laughs]

[Shaun] That was
a special day. Special day.

[people cheering]

[Toby] Yeah, boy!

[Shaun] And getting
the perfect score
was just nuts.

I mean, I'm just so happy,
I'm-- Honestly, like--

I never say this,
but I'm really proud
of myself. Like-- [laughs]

I was in New Zealand.
I, like, ripped my face open
trying these tricks.

It's been a long recovery
from that to get
to this point,

to try to make the team.

-[people cheering]
-[Shaun] It means the world.

Now I feel like
I'm on the right course
for the Olympics.

It's the craziest day
of my life.

I'm going to Korea!
Man, we're going!

-[Toby] Get it, man.
-You passed it.

-I gotta teach you
some Korean.
-I know! I know.

[Esther] Okay.

Watch your eye.

-[Toby] Don't shoot.
-Korea.

[people cheering]

-[laughs]
-[Esther cheers]

-That came really close to me.
-[laughs]

[Esther laughs]

-This was knot hell.
-[groans] Yeah.

Hold on, my mom called.

[Cathy via voicemail] Oh,
my God, honey, I'm so excited
for you. I can't stop crying.

-[laughs]
-It was a beautiful run.
I'm so proud of you.

You know, that endurance,
your hard work.

Getting back up
after that crash... [sniffles]

-Anyway, congratulations.
-[exhales sharply]

-Big hug to you.
Love you, honey. Bye-bye.
- [chuckles]

Oh, my God. Let's see.

[dial tone ringing]

-[Cathy] Oh, my God, honey,
I'm so proud of you!
-[Shaun] Mom!

I'm going to the Olympics.

-[chuckling]
-[Cathy] Oh, my God.

Are you? Just decide yourself.
That was such a beautiful run.

-Thank you.
-I was so scared,
'cause you fell.

And I'm like... [exclaims]

I know, I-- I... [exhales]

-I was--
-Cardiac arrest.

-Every single time,
you're doing this to me.
-[laughing]

Every time. I'm so sick of it.

-I figured you were gonna
be upset. [laughing]
-[Cathy cross-talking]

-...do it in the first run.
Oh, my God.
-[laughs]

You know, honey,
you've worked
your life for this.

-[sniffles]
-It's beautiful.

-[exhales sharply]
-Nothing can topple today.

-I don't-- You know?
-Yeah.

I'm really proud of you.
I-- You know, I--

You getting back on that snow
was the bravest thing
I've ever seen,

and I could never imagine
doing that.

And I'm so proud
of you. I don't know
where you got it from.

[both chuckling]

-You know--
-[Cathy] Sure as hell
ain't me!

You know where
I got it from. [chuckling]

[Cathy laughing over phone]

Yeah, we do.

[announcer] You know
we are so hyped as Americans

to have this whole team
back representing
the stars and stripes.

And with that,
you may have heard
of him before,

so show your love for Shaun!

[all cheering]

[announcer] Let's hear it
for Shaun White.

Let's hear it for him.

New Olympic snowboarding team!

[all cheering]

[announcer] Everyone,
USA! USA!

[all chanting] USA! USA!

[moderator] Oh,
I think that someone's
opening the questions up, sir.

You know, the media
would like to portray you
as a favorite

going into these games,
but out there,

there's also you're on
about back to back 14s.

So, going into these games,

do you feel like
an underdog or a favorite?

I don't... I would love
to feel like an underdog,

but I don't... I just don't.

[chuckling] I don't know.

I... I've always...
ever since I can remember,

been expected to do well,

not only from, you know,
the media and fans

and even more so, myself.

[moderator] I think we have
time for one more.

And I'm just...
it made me think...

Are... Have you become
the man that you wanted to be?

-Um...
-[all murmuring]

Yeah, I mean,
it's hard to say.

It's like, in so many aspects,
I would say yes.

In others, you know, no.

I mean,
nobody's perfect, and...

You know,
you can't... can't...

I guess it's funny,
it's like you get to these
goals in life

and it's... it's not always
what it seems.

You can be
the Olympic champion

and... and you know, but yeah,

you sacrifice things
along the way.

And it's... And it's
all up to your kind of like

moral compass of, you know,
"Is it worth it?"

"Is it still something
you need to pursue?"

"Is it still something
you feel inside?"

Every single moment
from basically two years ago

all the way up to this point
has been...

...just the craziest journey.

My liver's bleeding,
my face got ripped open,

there's just,
you know, hundred...

[sighing] Fuck, I don't know.

This is stupid, I'm over it.

[Esther] We chased
the weather,
we chased a good pipe,

constantly switching homes
and going
to a different mountain.

You know, just trying
to keep him motivated

and anything would just
throw him off for that day.

[Shaun] Now that I had made
the Olympic team,

it was all about this window
of time before the Olympics

to get the trick
that I hadn't done yet.

And I'd promised myself
after the crash

that I wouldn't do the trick
until the conditions
were perfect.

And...

...every step of the way,

we were running
into these problems.

We'd fly out and the machine
that cut the halfpipe broke.

So we're like,
"Let's go to Canada."

We'd fly to Canada,
we'd get there,

storm blows in.

Hi, ah!

[Esther] He'd come back
to the house and be like,

"Fuck! I didn't
do the trick again," you know?

And he'd... he'd be
so frustrated.

[sighing] Losing my mind
at this house.

So, like, amped up to compete.

It's just like,
I start spinning and go crazy.

When I'm on my board,

I'm excited, I'm happy,

and I'm like,
feeling motivated, you know?

It's just like that downtime
is just so hard.

Sitting here kind of like...

...going over and over
everything in my mind,

and there's, like,
nothing I can do about it,
you know?

Have a lot of things
on your plate, trying to...

...put those aside
and just go to sleep
is... is a huge challenge.

["Iron Man" playing]

[announcer on TV] Shaun White
gets it going!

Oh, my goodness!

White comes in with
heavy contact!

[Shaun] I was in a full,
just, meltdown.

* I am Iron Man *

[Shaun] I... I locked
myself in my room,

I closed
all the window shades,

and I was just, like,
sitting there in the corner,
just like...

[gasping intensely]

[chuckling] ...stirring!

Because I'd
had this nightmare,

this reoccurring nightmare
ever since...

It was like the day
after Sochi,

I just kept having
these nightmares

where... and it
was always the same,

it was that I...

It was the next day,
was the next Olympics,

which would
be the Korean Olympics.

And somehow for some reason
they fast-forwarded four years

and it was tomorrow,
and I'm there

at this competition,
completely unprepared.

And I'm sitting there going,
"Wow, I'm about to lose
the Olympics again."

This was, like,
haunting me, and now
I'm sitting here, like,

"Oh, my God!
Like, this is happening
for real, real life!"

And I just
had a full breakdown,

I... I didn't want
to talk to JJ,

didn't want to talk to Toby,
I was just like,
"It's over, what do we do?"

And they helped me
come out of that situation

by having me watch
this commercial.

* Has he lost his mind *

* Can he see or is he blind? *

* Can he walk at all *

[Shaun] I remember
watching it and being like,
"Oh, my God."

This is who I am
in this commercial,

like I'm expected to do it,
I'm gonna... you know
what I mean?

Who is this scared person
that's afraid to like...

...you know,
step to this challenge?

And I just told myself,
if I'm gonna get this trick,

it'll just have
to be in Korea.

Heading to Korea,
super exciting.

We got, uh,
the rest of the team
in the back here...

...looking very excited.

[Esther] Of course
there's pressure
from the outside,

but I realized it was him.

Like, he put so much
pressure on himself.

And the crazy thing is,

we got to Korea and he still
didn't put the run together.

[crowd cheering]

[Esther] But he was like,
"This is the run
I need to do to win."

And we were all
just so stressed out.

We're like, "Well,
how is he gonna do it

if he never even
put it together?"

[reporter 1] It's final time,
and it couldn't be
any more exciting.

Shaun White, Scotty James,
Ayumu Hirano are leading

the way for gold here
in Korea.

-[JJ] How are you feeling?
-[Shaun] Pretty good.

It's really hard to see,
but it's, you know, it's good.

It's a good pipe.

Challenging day, I mean,
low light.

He's tired, but, uh,
I know he can do it.

Um...

He just needs to dig deep.

[reporter 2] This
is definitely one
of the heaviest days

of halfpipe snowboarding
in history.

[reporter 1] Scotty James,
a contender for the gold.

[reporter 2] Very technical,
switch backside 1260,

Scotty James put down
the run that he wants to,

on his first run.

Oh, man.

[reporter 1] Shaun White.

It's time for him to try
and prove people wrong here,

and come back and win
a third gold medal here.

Can he land successive 1440s?

[reporter 2] He would've
used it on his first hit,

there it is, front upward 14,

Shaun White looking good here,

and there's a frontside 1260,

and Shaun White has put down
and absolutely amazing run.

[Shaun] I just felt it.
I was so high in the air.

I'm flipping around,
I'm nailing that first trick

into the next trick
all the way through,

and I got to the bottom
and I just, like,

I could just...
everything was just
coursing through me.

[reporter 2] There we go,
94.25 for Shaun's first run.

We have a new leader,
and currently Shaun White
is poised for the gold medal.

That was mental, I mean...

-[man] I wanna cry.
-I do, too.

[reporter 1] Ayumu Hirano
from Japan.

One of the top three
riders in the world.

He has to deliver here.

[reporter 2] Here he is,
massive backside air,

going absolutely huge.

And to the frontside
double cork 1440,

now for the cab
double cork 1440,

and he puts it down,
back to back 1440s, wow!

[reporter 1] We've just seen
back to back 1400s.

[Shaun] And then oh,
Ayumu puts down his run.

And I'm like...

[chuckling] "Fuck!"

[reporter 2] Can you believe
it's really a podium score?

[reporter 1] 95.25!

Ayumu Hirano
goes into first place.

He says, "Take that,
Shaun White!
Take that, Scotty James!"

He means business here
in Korea.

[Shaun] Wow.

I mean, it's the run
I wanted to do.

It's very similar.

[JJ] Let's do it man,
you got it.

-You know what you're doing.
-[Shaun] Yeah.

Envision this in your head
and let's execute it.

[Shaun] I remember
grabbing my board

and I'm walking toward
the start gate

and this thought
had popped into my head,

you know, like,
"I could learn to live
with second place,"

you know, it's a silver medal
at the Olympics.

Like, I... I could learn
to live with this.

-[JJ] Easy.
-[Shaun] Love you guys.

-[JJ] Love you too, dog.
You got this.
-[Shaun] You're the man.

I just remember time
slowing down.

[man] Yeah, Shaun!
Go show 'em
what you're made of.

[Shaun] And as I'm walking
and I turn

the corner to actually
see the halfpipe,

the new thought had occurred,

I'm like, "But you don't
have to.

You can win it right now."

[reporter 1] Shaun White
is about to drop in

his third and final run,
here in Korea.

[Shaun] Here we go!

[reporter 1] Rumor has it,
he has something big
in his toolbox,

but is he going
to get it out now?

-[man] Yeah, Shaun!
-[reporter 2] The cab 1440.

He almost took himself
out of Olympic contention

learning this trick
in New Zealand this summer.

[reporter 1] He's dressed
as an astronaut,

but at the moment,
he has a problem.

He's only in second place.

Shaun White has dropped in
for gold.

[reporter 2] Frontside
double cork 1440 for Shaun.

Are we gonna see
the back to back 1440s?

-Yes, we are.
-[JJ] Come on!

[reporter 2] Back to back
1440s there for Shaun White.

The sky hook with
the frontside 1440,

now to the double lane twist,
the tomahawk,

and he gets that around.

Shaun White now with
a frontside double cork 1260,

and he puts it down!

[crowd cheering]

[reporter 2] Shaun White
has just put down

back to back 1400s
in competition!

It is in the hands
of the judges now.

[JJ] Whoo! Come on!

-Come on!
-[man] Give it to him!

Give me a score!

-Yeah.
-[JJ] Come on!

[reporter 1] Once again,
questions asked
of Shaun White.

Has he answered it?

-Yes, he has!
-[crowd cheering loudly]

[reporter 1] Shaun White
takes gold in Pyeongchang!

In the most emphatic fashion!

The last run of the day!

[all cheering]

[reporter 2] White
is the new gold!

[reporter 1] Just when
you write him off

in Sochi four years ago,
he goes back,

no distractions,
and look where it's got him.

And maybe, just maybe,
this gold is the most
important of them all.

[both happily chuckling]

[Cathy] I'm so happy for you.

I can't believe you did this!
I'm so happy!

All that work, all that work!

[reporter 2] His mom Cathy,
his dad Roger.

Sister Kari, brother Jesse,
they've all been
part of this journey.

I'm sorry to do the last run!

[all cheering]

[all laughing
and crying happily]

[reporter 2] It was his dad
coming in...

He said moments ago,
his dad said,

"I've never seen him cry!"

Oh, we fucking did it!

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God!

I just wanna cover you!

[reporter 2] Shaun White,
31 years of age...

[reporter 1] He's overcome
adversity to be here.

He's been pushed hard
by the athletes around him.

And again, he's delivered
his third gold medal

here in Korea.

[Cathy] That was
a turning point for me.

At looking at Shaun
not as my son,

but as an incredible athlete.

For what he did
in the Olympics,

to go out on that big
of a field,

know you have to land
the trick that just split
your face wide open...

...and land it!

I... I just had a different
perspective of him
as a human being.

And you know, I just...

...could never be
so proud of him...

...and everything
that he's accomplished, so...

...then he became a GOAT.

[JJ] So proud of you.

That was the sickest thing
I've ever seen
in my entire life.

-Too cool.
-Thanks, buddy.

[Jesse] And it was incredible.

Every once in a while,
I'll go on YouTube,

and I'll put that run on
and I'll watch it.

I will rewatch what
I already know what happened,

because it's just the moment.

You know, sometimes it's worth
risking it all

in order to have
that Icarus moment

and really put it all
on the line.

And the one thing that Shaun
has done over and over again,

he's done impossible.

He's shown up
when he shouldn't have,

done things that will
be legendary.

Like, beyond snowboarding.

Like, just pure athleticism
that people will remember.

Forever.

[crowd cheering]
Love you, Shaun!

[reporter 1] Today's final
marks the last competitive run

for three-time Olympic
gold medalist Shaun White.

After a career that
has spanned more
than 25 years,

and countless accolades,
this is his farewell event.

[woman] We gotta
get you with Shaun.

Do you wanna hold the baby?

Oh, my God. Okay.

[woman screaming happily]

[woman] It's so weird
to not be there,

and like, my God, I can't.

We're always there
just stressing.

[reporter 1] The men's
snowboard halfpipe final,

12 men representing
five nations

will battle it out
for three medals,

where only
your best run counts.

The Genting Snow Park
is the backdrop

for what can be considered
the most talented final
in snowboarding history.

[reporter 2] Will we see
the triple unleashed
here tonight?

[Roger] I mean, I'm his dad.

And, I mean,
the biggest fear I have now

is him possibly
hurting himself.

The level of riding
has gotten so...

...dangerous, I hate
to say it.

Just so there that
I just don't feel like

I want him
to push that hard now.

And like,
he has nothing to prove.

[Jesse] Is it worth it?

[mumbling]

Yes.

If he lands that, that will...

You know,
that'll be a forever moment.

And, I think,
sometimes that's worth it.

[Shaun] It's still
anyone's game,

and like it's not over
till it's over.

I'm here to win,
I'm here to do it.

Crazier things have happened.

But, you know...

Being able to, like,
stand proud and pass the torch

to the next generation
would be amazing as well.

I think when I was younger
if I told you that

I'd be totally blowing smoke.

But I truly believe that now.

[reporter 1] So the time
has come for Shaun White

to begin the swan song.

Shaun White will be
dropping next.

[reporter 2] I wanna see Shaun
hit the moon.

I know, like, this is what
he's been known for.

[reporter 1] But Shaun's
not thinking about retirement
just yet.

-[reporter 2] No, no.
-[reporter 1] He's thinking
about going to work.

[crowd cheering]

[reporter 2] Here we go.
Shaun White...

...lot of speed
into hit number one.

Big 1440 on hit number one.

Good setup.

He had problems here...

...first run,
nails it this time.

There's the Frontside 540
into the Double McTwist 1260.

Big this time, really big.

Frontside 1260
and end off this run.

[all cheering]

[reporter 2] Shaun White
now has laid one down.

[reporter 1] Now there
is wiggle room.

[Shaun] Whoo! Yeah!

[reporter 2] Well,
this is gonna be
a good score for White.

Now into second place!

So Shaun White in
the silver medal
position right now!

More than 85.

Shit. I don't know
if I have another
drink or not.

[reporter 1] Ayumu Hirano,
he is a two-time silver
medalist in the halfpipe.

[reporter 2] All right,
I'd just like
to send a message

out to the cameramen.

-The next rider that is about
to drop will probably...
-[reporter 1 chuckling]

[reporter 2] ...fly out
of frame.

So you may want to pull
back the shot a little bit.

This is where we're worried.
Now we're worried.

[reporter 1] Tired of sitting
in second,

does he throw it down now?

[reporter 2] Will this be
the triple cork?

And it will be!

Ayumu Hirano puts down
the triple like nothing!

Straight into a 1440!

Ayumu Hirano is from
another planet!

Here we go,
all he has to do is land this.

It's over. It's done.

[all cheering]

[reporter 2] It's so
incredible that that run
has just come together.

-You see, like,
the riders know.
-[reporter 1] Yup.

-[reporter 2]
Everyone knows...
-Yeah!

[reporter 2] ...that was
the most difficult
halfpipe run

in the history of halfpipe
that has ever been done.

[reporter 1] And Shaun
is responsible for so much
of this progression.

He was the man that led
the charge to go bigger,

higher, and now
you've gotta wonder,

what's going through his mind
and behind those goggles
right now?

Todd, if he has
the triple cork,

it's now the time
to unleash it.

I know him well enough
to where he's got
the competitive...

...edge to try it,
but I don't know whether
he will or not.

[reporter 1] It's the final
show for Shaun White.

He sits at fourth place.

[man clapping]
Let's go, Shaun.

Here we go. Come on, come on.

Come on! Come on, buddy!

Come on!

[reporter 1] This run
will mark the end
of an era in snowboarding,

as Shaun White makes
his final run in competition.

[reporter 2] Will we see
him on the medal stand?

Huge 1440 to open up.

Will he combo
into another? He--

[all groaning] Oh!

[reporter 2] He clips
the wall.

-[all clapping]
-That's okay!

-[crowd cheering]
-[man] Yeah!

Go, Shaun!

Yeah, Shaun!

Whoo!

[all chanting repeatedly]
Shaun! Shaun! Shaun! Shaun!

[reporter 1] With grace
and class,

Shaun White comes into
the corral for the final time.

[reporter 2] Hats off
to Shaun White,

an incredible influence
on snowboarding for years.

What a run he has had.

[reporter 2] They line up
to congratulate the GOAT.

-Great job.
-[Shaun] We did it, you guys.

[reporter 1] The torch
has been passed.

[reporter 3] You saw
and heard
the standing ovation.

-Yeah.
-[reporter 3] And...
And the love...

-Yeah.
-[reporter 3] ...for
Shaun White.

And maybe the results
weren't exactly
what you wanted today,

but please tell us
you're leaving here
with your head held high.

Yeah, man.

I can't wait to see where
this sport goes.

It's getting wild.

[chuckling] I'm so happy
for Ayumu,

I've watched him almost
hit the top so many times,

you know, and to watch him
nail that run,

I mean, incredible.

Yeah, a lot of emotions
hitting me right now, um,

just the cheer of the crowd,
and some kind words

from my fellow competitors
at the bottom, and, um...

[choked up] I'm so happy.
I just want to thank everybody
for watching.

Um...

-Oh...
-Aw!

-Okay.
-Love you Shaun!

We love you.

Everyone at home, thank you.

Snowboarding, thank you.

Um...

It's been the love
of my life, so...

20 years, baby. 20 years.

[reporter 3] Speaking
of back home...

-Oh, no!
-[reporter 3]
...from Los Angeles.

-There you go.
-[all cheering]

[all cheering] We love you!

I love you, come home!

[Shaun crying] I love you
so much.

I love you, joy!

I wanted more today, but...

-[cheering]
-I'll take what I can get.

I'm proud.

Spend my life.

Thank you.

I can't wait to see you all!

-We love you Shaun.
-[all] We love you!

We love you, son.

-Can't wait to see you
when you come home.
-[reporter 3] Shaun,

thanks for taking us all
along on one wonderful ride
after another.

Thank you. [chuckling]

It's been a journey.

[Roger] Shit, there he is!

[woman] One, two, three.

[all cheering]

-[Cathy] He's gonna do fine.
-[Shaun] Oh, my God!

I just think that
it's gonna be, you know,

bittersweet, 'cause for me,
it's like,

"Oh, it's the end
of this era."

But then, at Christmas,

I got to teach
my granddaughter
how to snowboard,

and it was just like, "Wow."

It's starting again,
and it's gonna be so much fun.

You know,
little red-headed babies,
sure, I'll take those.

[chuckling]

-[woman] Aw, so cute.
-[Nina] It all starts now.

[kissing] I know,
I'm so excited.

-Did you hear that, Cathy?
-[Cathy] What?

[Shaun] It's the first day
of my comeback.

-Oh, God. No!
-[all laughing]

[Nina] Thank you everyone
for coming to celebrate

Shaun's, you know,
short career.

-Whoo!
-[all laughing]

[Nina] Um, I wanna introduce
the man of the hour.

[woman] Whoo!

-Shaun White.
-[all cheering]

Thank you, Nina.

Ooh, where do I start? Um...

I really do wanna just say
thank you,

because there's so many
things in this...

...career in my life
that could've gone in
so many different directions,

and the people that were
around me throughout
my entire career

kept me in the game,
in the race.

And I know that, uh...

Gosh, you got me
at different times.

[all laughing]

[Shaun] Long-hair Shaun,
shorter hair Shaun,

you know, and...

Huge thank you, obviously,
to my family.

I love you guys so much.

[all cheering]

[Shaun] You know,
believing in me
from the beginning,

the drives up
to the mountains...

...in that van.

-[all laughing]
-[Shaun] Reupholstered
in Tijuana!

You know?

Taking me across the world
so I could have family

on the road and feel safe
and really, you know,

letting me go through
my phases.

Letting me buy the sports car,

um, and learn those lessons,
'cause it... it brought me
to where I am today.

I gotta... I gotta say,
thank you so much.

I love you guys so much.

[all cheering]

I gotta say, every Olympics
has marked a really...

a really interesting time
in my life,

really ups and downs,
and I wanted
to bring up Sochi,

because that was a time
in my life where

things didn't go to plan.

You know, and it really
taught me so much about life.

Ah!

Dude!

[Shaun] How with
or without snowboarding,

all of you were there for me.

[giggling]

He's found in the mound side!

On this particular journey,

uh, with this Olympics,
you know, there were moments

of the old Shaun going,
"Should I just go back
to back triples to win it?"

-"Maybe a quad
would do it! Maybe..."
-[all chuckling]

[Shaun] You know what I mean?
And I'm sitting
there thinking,

"Wow, like...

I built this incredible life
for myself, and...

...and trying these dangerous
tricks to just...

It just didn't
seem as appealing anymore."

And I didn't want to gamble
this beautiful life I have,

and so, um...

[all cheering]

So I got to slide down,
wave my hand,
thank my competitors,

thank everybody for this
amazing career in life,

and, um,
and here's to the future.

So thank you all so much
for being here.

[all cheering]
