Shaun White’s newly launched Whitespace board looks better day by day as the brand will grow to a different orbit.
Notably, Chloe also added two other pictures to the slide; one of her against the Olympic logo and another of her getting some much-needed rest. Given their energy, these two will certainly provide the spark for other competitors to perform better at the Winter Olympics.
Can they win the gold medal?
With Shaun White appearing in his last Olympic Games, he would love to cherish this moment. He has been one of the best snowboarders in the world for nearly two decades as his career now comes to a close. Winning a fourth Olympic gold medal would be a sight to savor. But things are not straightforward with Ayumu Hirano in the house.
As for Chloe Kim, after her performance during the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, she too is expected to bring home the gold medal.
