Shaun White finally stepped on his fifth and historic Olympic finals today. Looking back at his career, no one would have thought White would dominate the sport even at 35.

White had the dream to close his career with an Olympic gold; however, things took a rough turn for him in the last and final run.

Shaun White tries an insane trick but crashes on landing

In the snowboarding halfpipe finals, competitors went through three runs to decide the ultimate king of the sport. White had an amazing start as he scored 85 points in the first run. However, White’s competitors have really leveled up the game. Australian Scotty James and Japanese Ayumu Hirano scored incredible points above 90.

In the last and the final run of his Olympic career, White again had a start that stopped everyone’s heartbeat, thinking he will just make it to the podium. But to the sadness of his fans and himself, White had a harsh landing as he crashed. At that moment, Shaun knew it was over.
