Thanks For coming Back !
Shaun White has done it again! During the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, White once again won a gold medal in the halfpipe.
At the finals, White had recorded a score of 46.8 on his very first run of the course, which most certainly proved to be a high enough score to secure the highest medal of all, the gold medal, and not even needing a second run. But regardless,he performed his second run anyway. And get this, he ended his run with a double McTwist 1260! One of the hardest snowboarding tricks to do in the history of boarding. The second run resulted in a record score of 48.4 with 50 being the highest possible score! He went to take a lead in his margin of victory. The next in line, who won the Silver medal, was behind Shaun White by a score of 45.0.
