I don’t think the commentators accentuated the pressure enough. It was his last run unlike those of previous Olympics. He had to do something he had never done before. He had to overcome the 60+ stitch fear. And Hirano Ayumu just had brought his A game. It was all or nothing. And he nailed it. He devoured pressure.
Shawn white lives for those moments understand pressure, he snowboards to win and is not in the true spirit of snowboarding. He had no style and boot grabbed, Ben Ferguson’s run was WAY sicker! So much style and that air to fakie is a lot harder than it seems, let alone the magnificent swich mctwist!
Here after the final run of his career in the 2022 halfpipe final...didn't get the run he wanted but that ovation he got coming down the pipe was something else. Snowboard GOAT.
It gives me goosebumps every time. To see the emotion after he hears the scores and they way he reacts are proof that sports are the best. He put everything he had into nailing that run and it pays off in the end. Still one of the best Olympic moments I've ever seen.
Used to be a huge fan of halfpipe. But halfpipe w/o Shaun is like golf w/o Tiger. Their styles are unique. I was really happy for him when he won it. Certified GOAT.
When I watched this live I started on the edge of my seat in anticipation, by the end..I was standing. The few minutes from the finish to the score was long and I was psyched with how well it looked. It was such a good feeling when he got 1st, I actually teared up a bit from it. Was an amazing event, and I cant wait for the next one
Yeah, all those people saying we was washed and should just retire because he was too old and past it .... I'd have wanted to ride down the middle of the pipe like 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
Why they even published that documentary only 2 weeks before the games?! I did think that 2014 was last Shaun's participation to an Olympic Winter Game and then I saw this video...making him an even greater legend!
I watched it live, this video does not convey the stress he was under well enough. His first run he brought the pain, but his second run he faltered, and other competitors got ahead. He had to bring it all to his final run, and he did. He brought it all
Frontside double cork 1440, Are we going to see the back to back 1440's? Yes we are. Back to back 1440's there for Shaun White. The skyhook the frontside 540 now into the double mctwist the tomahawk and he gets that around. Shaun White now with a frontside double cork 1260 and Shaun White with an incredible run there.
My entire family was in the den. Everyone was standing up and terrified.Never been more nervous in any sporting event. And I am not, none of us were, winter sports fans. When he nailed the last jump we screamed like we won the lottery. When the score came up we felt like we won. Just incredible
In self-isolation enjoying Olympic videos. This run was a thing of beauty---which is more than what can be said about COVID-19. I'm two years late, but congrats, Shaun!
@@Xavier_Coogat_the_Mambo_King You are making fun of an historical process that many have put years into studying. Some would feel a little irritated by your ignorance
So funny to see the haters going "Muh boot grab" while he's literally the only one in the world that can do those tricks lol. Deserved win, best run of all time!
The best to ever strap into a snowboard. A true living legend. Shaun White is a BOSS. School is in session anytime he competes and he takes over as the professor.
@@tv-ez4sw I don't know Ayumu was slapping pretty hard on the landings and started with the method where Sean went straight to the double cork 1440 and had an overall smoother run. Watch Ayumus second run and Seans third run side by side in slow mo and you can see a difference, the pacing is exact.
in 4 years snowboarding is going more and more closer to artistic gymnastics.. He could won another medal, maybe not gold, but to be 35 against teen agers.. he still rock
I remember being on the edge of my seat watching this, mine and a lot of peoples idol going on his last run in the olympics for gold, and then freaking out and jumping up and down when they said the score. that’s how Shaun white retires
As someone who has never watched professional snowboarding I gotta say: all of these trick names sound like the commentator made them up on the spot XD
Even Hirano knew Shaun had taken the gold by the end of the run. This was an absolute legendary performance, his best really, and that's including his perfect scores from the xgames. Sure he grabbed his toe strap, but to nail a trick that took him out 6 months ago, doing it regular and switch, and pulling off two of his signature tricks...I can't even this is one of the best performances in all of sports history. Hats off to Hirano for pushing Shawn to go above his limit. Next winter Olympics, the gold will be Hirano's
Hirano was robbed dude But snowboarding is a white American sport so they have to win. Not mad about that. I,ve never considered sports that involves judges to be real sports as it leads to corruption or biased judges as they are human too. Whether it,s gymnastics, snowboarding, diving etc. Sports that involve judges dont seem like real sports to me and I don't watch them often. I prefer sports where you win on merit without a judge or with little use of a judge like swimming, archery, badminton etc.
Gotta love those full frontal 1450s with a snapdragon back quartz super bump turbo slide finished with a 210 4xZoom wiggle fish tail snapped demon grab with the 8210 Sock rashers to finishit off!! Unreal scenes!!! Nice Poppyblanket plant too!
I'd love for the commentators to be actual fellow snowboarders who are part of the culture. I'm not a snowboarder, but I love listening to the lingo and the insights are always interesting.
What a beacon, OMG, what a one-of-a-kind genius. Outstanding in every way, and then some. Talent of this magnitude expands our poor understanding of the human enterprise. Thank you, Shaun!

Agreed! Very few can perform that well under pressure and he definitely rose to the occasion. Simply amazing!
Shawn white lives for those moments understand pressure, he snowboards to win and is not in the true spirit of snowboarding. He had no style and boot grabbed, Ben Ferguson’s run was WAY sicker! So much style and that air to fakie is a lot harder than it seems, let alone the magnificent swich mctwist!
Shaun White *only* does comp and that's all he's done in snowboarding for the past few years, I would hope he could handle pressure.
Most memorable historic legendary runs and Snowboard history said by them
That comment gave me goosebumps.
Here after the final run of his career in the 2022 halfpipe final...didn't get the run he wanted but that ovation he got coming down the pipe was something else. Snowboard GOAT.
Same
"didn't get the run he wanted" stop hating. Dude can Ollie and make it look insane
One of the most unbelievably clutch performances I've ever seen. The stakes, the degree of difficulty, the pressure; I am stunned
It gives me goosebumps every time. To see the emotion after he hears the scores and they way he reacts are proof that sports are the best. He put everything he had into nailing that run and it pays off in the end. Still one of the best Olympic moments I've ever seen.
The commentating rly ruins it
16 years apart.
5x Olympian.
3x Gold medalist.
The end to a storied Olympic career for Shaun White.
He is the LEGEND.
GOAT!
Used to be a huge fan of halfpipe. But halfpipe w/o Shaun is like golf w/o Tiger. Their styles are unique. I was really happy for him when he won it. Certified GOAT.
Completely agree
he's back in 2022
He just qualified for men's hp final 2022!
I’ve got great news for you, for about a week at least
I've seen this run so many times I've memorized it
Infinity On High-Functioning Sociopath Haha! Same...
Great, now do it in real life then
Infinity On High-Functioning Sociopath and you still can’t do a backflip lol
Ok sociopath
I have too 😅
This is one of the most amazing things I’ve ever watched in sport. I remember watching it live. Absolutely legendary.

Well, the time has come. You excited?
@@NoelBuller Very much so! One to not miss
@@NoelBuller let’s gooo
He probably ate the steak this time
Michel Solfrini I understood that reference
Crappy manager forgot it last time
Just watched that interview documentary thingy right before this video
Why they even published that documentary only 2 weeks before the games?! I did think that 2014 was last Shaun's participation to an Olympic Winter Game and then I saw this video...making him an even greater legend!
What are you talkin about
This is amazing! He probably felt like a God after that! It's one of the most amazing sports moments I have ever seen
Incredible. I've followed him from the beginning and thiugh I am physically unable do to disability I get a joy watching him. Way to go!
I watched it live, this video does not convey the stress he was under well enough. His first run he brought the pain, but his second run he faltered, and other competitors got ahead. He had to bring it all to his final run, and he did. He brought it all
I honestly think this is the run of his career. Pretty impressive.
Nah. My vote is 2010. His Victory lap funny enough, the fact he didnt have to do it... but he did
Horrible commentating , felt like I was watching golf
Dude does some insane stunts.
Commentator: "Was it good? I don't know"
Frontside double cork 1440, Are we going to see the back to back 1440's? Yes we are. Back to back 1440's there for Shaun White. The skyhook the frontside 540 now into the double mctwist the tomahawk and he gets that around. Shaun White now with a frontside double cork 1260 and Shaun White with an incredible run there.
Noa 😂 all in the same plain voice too
Robert S. you’re wrong
Robert S. I agree its bad commentating but you should see red gerard's final run commentating its horrible they cant even name one trick
Watching this live probably the most nervous ive ever been watching a sport. Cant imagine how he felt. And he freakin nailed it
The greatest snowboard competition I’ve ever seen. Shaun White needed to nail a monster performance & he did.
The camera work is just fantastic.
This man must think he is in SSX3. What is this? Video game footage, that's not human lol
SUPEEEERRR UBERRRRR😂
Well he has video games named after him..
That was one of my favorite video games!
Shaun White is (for all intents and purposes) the closest humans will ever get to emulating SSX
RemixedVoice pfffff, wait what will come in the upcoming years.
Still gives me goosebumps. He had to give everything he had. Then he owned it.
Saw this live. My buddy was there. Something I’ll never forget in Olympic sports history. Much like Ledecky and Phelps
You gotta love it when the pressure is at its highest, the great ones find ways to come big instead of getting crushed by all the expectation.
My entire family was in the den. Everyone was standing up and terrified.Never been more nervous in any sporting event. And I am not, none of us were, winter sports fans. When he nailed the last jump we screamed like we won the lottery. When the score came up we felt like we won. Just incredible
I remember seeing this live in my office. My heart was pounding so hard every time he was landing.
In self-isolation enjoying Olympic videos. This run was a thing of beauty---which is more than what can be said about COVID-19. I'm two years late, but congrats, Shaun!
Shauns Thoughts:
I believe I can fly
no, that was probably the song playing on his earphones during that run
This didn’t age well
Nah white thought : I hope my boots grab doesn’t get counted and I can rob the Japanese kid’s win🤷♂️
@@ZenzeroCAM why not?
Man I remember watching this live, coming back to it years later and watching it again is almost nostalgic
I was on the edge of my seat in my living room cheering for Shaun and he won the GOLD!
Tg
Anybody else think the announcers are just throwing words in there when describing the tricks? Looks like a flippy spin and an spinnier flip to me.
I feel like half of these tricks didn't even have names at the time and they had to come up with names for them eventually.
No they are standard terms you just don't know anything
Of course someone has to take my joke and turn it into an opportunity to feel better than someone. You can always count on the internet for that.
@@Xavier_Coogat_the_Mambo_King You are making fun of an historical process that many have put years into studying. Some would feel a little irritated by your ignorance
@@_blocboyjames7058 and those people need to deflate their egos. be happy new people are watching their craft.
数年前、自身が編み出した最高の技を、数年後には当たり前のように滑りに取り組んでる姿が魅力的すぎる✨
He said “double Mctwist” sound like some McDonald’s menu item
Thats cause its named after McDonald's
@@picturethis8611 no its named after barney the purple dinosaur
@@picturethis8611 it’s named after mike mcgill
By far the best part of an overall excellent Olympic Games.
I remember this like it was yesterday, the best olympic snowboard run EVER
The most epic moment from a legend of extreme sports! Made history with this run, I'll never forget it.
The pure excitement he has when he turns to see his score and he just throws his board
Simply epic. Good job Shaun. Would like to see you kickass in China...
SHAUN WHITE❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤SNOWBOARDING 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉FIRE FUEGO 🔥
So funny to see the haters going "Muh boot grab" while he's literally the only one in the world that can do those tricks lol. Deserved win, best run of all time!
honestly, should have grabbed his balls for all the haters
Hehdhchrydhd Duunhdjrjdjdj who are you talking to
He only had like 2 poor boot grabs.
V0LDY other rider get punished for boot grabs. He gets a perfect 100 at a US open. 🖕
The man has a big pair of cojones. Judges will forgive a poor grab if you display a big pair of cojones.
Shaun White is one very rare champion. He has lived well. Very happy for him.
Shaun White is the GOAT in snowboarding!!!
Two weeks later I saw him at In N Out and congratulated him 🇺🇸 🥇 Fucken awesome. Such a humble dude ❤️😎
I got to skateboard with Sean in Oregon back in the day what an amazing athlete
The definition of 'poetry in motion'. Truly superlative
It’s crazy how in control he is in the air
The best to ever strap into a snowboard. A true living legend. Shaun White is a BOSS. School is in session anytime he competes and he takes over as the professor.
Commentary sounds like this stuff just happens everyday...
And 60 some stitches but proceeds to try the same thing later on, what a beast
i remember this day so clearly, winter olympics were so fun. everyone was so happy for shaun, i love his ginger self. 🥺
stomach was in knots! omgg
These announcers blow. The NBC production is 1000x better
still don't understand why Ayumu Hirano's run was never posted? that was a gold-level run as well
Because they don’t want people to know that Japanese boy got robbed
@@tv-ez4sw I don't know Ayumu was slapping pretty hard on the landings and started with the method where Sean went straight to the double cork 1440 and had an overall smoother run. Watch Ayumus second run and Seans third run side by side in slow mo and you can see a difference, the pacing is exact.
@@tv-ez4sw nah. sean won fair and square.
shaun White fanclub channel
@@maciedixon3983 why?
so much respect for this guy
The Olympics from 4 years ago have more viewership than the ones happening today. 😂🤣
I remember watching this live. crazy how time flies
every time i watch this moment its make me cry . This moment is literally historical . Shawn White ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Absolute staple of my winter and snowboarding passion.
These are the commentators they needed in 2022.
62 stitches jeez!!. Props for coming back
I seriously cannot stop watching this!!! I dk if he’s doing the summer Olympics I sure hope so!!!
Absolutely stomped it, that was a perfect run, and under so much pressure too!
That gold medal was well deserved.
Dudes the greatest of all time. Legend
greatest pipe rider only
how could it be possible? He is such a legend
"I'm talkin about Mountain Dew baby." 😏
Can’t wait to watch him do it again in china. Legend!!
One of the best Olympic moments of history
Wow, what an impressive run!
Let’s go bro 💪🏽 2022 legend we believe in you
Seeing this in steamboat springs in a restaurant with everyone on the edge of there seats made this Night one of the best.
It's what GOATs do.
Absolutely incredible performance under pressure.
I’m still nervous from this run
Still the greatest of all time
As someone who has never watched professional snowboarding I gotta say: all of these trick names sound like the commentator made them up on the spot XD
In extreme sports, trick names are always quite fun. One of my favourites is ‘fishbrain’ for a grind.
Absolute legend.
Always awesome to watch Shawn White lead the pack!
Never seen anyone happier than Shaun at 2:40
Gotta know backstory of this win
You are great Shaun White. Congratulations 👏🎉
I remember watching this, it was crazy
HOW ARE THOSE TRICKS EVEN POSSIBLE
Beautiful classic from the Master
これ以上の名勝負なかなか出ないやろ。今見てもやべーわ。
カッコよすぎる🥺泣ける
Shaun White is absolutely insane.

Ini bagus ni segera Leles vidionya😅bsk kt liat lg
remember watching this live it was just insane. deserved win
Congrats White! Very Nice Run!
I don't know anything about snowboarding or winter sports but this was amazing
that first hit was insane. covered like 1/4 of the halfpipe in distance while 30 ft in the air lolll
I'm scare just thinking about it
not even skiers can hate on this legend he’s too respectable lmao
i did this too once it's just cameras were off that time
did you feel good?
@@ace88bf no i threw up after sadly
Gotta love those full frontal 1450s with a snapdragon back quartz super bump turbo slide finished with a 210 4xZoom wiggle fish tail snapped demon grab with the 8210 Sock rashers to finishit off!! Unreal scenes!!! Nice Poppyblanket plant too!
That was a pretty crazy good run
I am a huge fan! He is brilliant
RUclips you showed me this like five times already ...great vid
The whole time I was holding my breathe and pray he does not fall on the way down. Glad he didn't, splendid run.
I'd love for the commentators to be actual fellow snowboarders who are part of the culture. I'm not a snowboarder, but I love listening to the lingo and the insights are always interesting.
