Shaun White

If any of you have had been watching the Olympics I hope that you were able to watch the men’s half pipe final this week. It isn’t often in sports that you have an athlete that is way above the rest of the competition, but that is the case with Shaun White. This was shown in the men’s half-pipe final this week where he blew everyone out of the water. All the athletes were spectacular, but Shaun White was able to do the tricks better and fly higher than everybody. In the half-pipe competition they take the best score out of two runs. After his first run Shaun had already won by a few points. But rather than take a conservative victory lap he went all out, landed an amazing trick never before seen in competition, and improved his score from 46.8 to 48.4 (out of 50 WOW!). I was going to post the video of his run but NBC has is copyrighted so just follow the hyperlink at the end of this and be amazed.

I don't think the hyperlink is working so just copy and paste this (I know not as cool but I am still figuring out this blog thing)
