At the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games, Shaun White amazed me when you competed in the half pipe event. His first run he score 46.8 beating all his competitors by at least a few point. By the time it was his turn to do the half pipe the second time, he had already got the Gold Medal no matter what his score was. As I watched his second run, or as he called it his victory run, he blew my mind. He had a new trick up his sleeve that he was saving for the olympics. As he was about to do his new trick he calls the Double McTwist 1260, I was on the edge of my seat feeling as if he was going to be able to pull it off because Shaun did not have a lot of speed. Shaun does the Double McTwist 1260 and lands it perfectly, proving he earned that Gold Medal for the second olympics in a row. He scored a 48.4 (out a possible 50) and is the best half pipe competitor in the world.
