The qualification process for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is in its final stages. While Chloe Kim has already booked her spot in China, men’s snowboarding legend, Shaun White’s appearance, is still in doubt. Following an injury, White was forced to pull out from his last qualifiers at the Mammoth Mountain.

Ever since he stated how this would be his last contest in snowboarding, fans have been worried about his qualification. How can White qualify for the Winter Olympics despite missing out on the final qualifier now?

How can Shaun White qualify for the Winter Olympics?

With the 35-year-old looking to appear in his fifth Olympic Games, the route to Beijing is not easy. The incredible White will have two chances to qualify. The first task would be to put in a solid run during the World Cup event in Switzerland.

With team USA having four spots at stake, White is currently fourth in the American list of snowboarders. Thus, if White puts on a good score in Laax, Switzerland, he would nail a spot.

As of right now, he is behind Taylor Gold, Chase Josey, and Lucas Foster in the American snowboarder rankings. With the confusion arising from his qualification process, White hopes to put in a sensational performance in Switzerland. That event is a make-or-break for White.
