Shaun White has lost his Olympic medal on numerous occasions
In an interview with Graham Bensinger, White talked about losing his medals and shared a hilarious story. He spoke about losing it three to four times, but somehow managed to find them on all those occasions.
“I have misplaced it maybe once or twice, three or four times. Because I don’t really take it off too often. It’s one of those things like you know, keeping in a safe place and occasionally I’ll bring it out, and then there’s so much going on that I kinda rely on people around me. After my snowboard contest, I have to find everything again,” said White.

He also mentioned that he would give his former agent the responsibility of keeping hold of his medals for him, and everytime he couldn’t find it, he would give him a call. Once, White even found it in the backpocket of the passenger seat of his car.

2022 will be White’s last Olympics
Taking part in four Olympic games is definitely something to be admired, but competing in five shows the commitment to his craft that White has. He started skateboarding when he was young and burst onto the scene in the 2000s. And now, his career is coming to an end.
“Because my whole life I’ve kind of been looked at as somewhat superhuman because I do these things. And a lot of people have always come up to me and just [been] like, ‘I don’t know how he does it.’ And I’ve prided myself on being that individual. And man, realizing and admitting to myself and everyone else, ‘Yeah I’m human.’ It’s taken a toll,” said White as he announced that Beijing 2022 will be his last Olympics.
