American snowboarder Shaun White finally hung up his gloves after a final run at the Beijing Winter Olympics 2022. As White glided through the halfpipe, it was an emotional scene, as the world watched the three-time gold medallist on one final run.

Sadly, Shaun finished fourth in the standings of the event, failing to reach the podium. In fact, even in the final run 2 event, Shaun only managed to clinch the fourth position.

Needless to say, White was unable to bag any medals at the 2022 Olympics, but his decorated career is not short of victories or historic achievements.
