Shaun White Gold Medal !!!!

YEAAAA GO SHAUN WHITE !!! dono if you guys watched it but shaun white just won gold for half pipe !!! it was amazing !!! omg… I can only 540… he makes me feel like a little noob !!!

Yeah, I watched him get TWO gold medals in the X games, but we don’t get NBC, and they won’t allow us to subscribe to them, so we can’t watch the olympics at all. :frowning:

Stupid NBC… go Shaun White

yup i watched it last night! His first run sucked! But then he came through in the end… like always. Did anyone watch the speed skating? I watched a little, it was fun to see.

And just in case anyone was curious…

Shaun White = snowboarding

Sean White = gifted filmmaker and unicyclist (Into the Thunder Dragon, One Tired Guy, etc.) www.seanwhite.net

Go athletes! Congrats for Shaun, and high hopes for Apolo Anton Ohno (aka Dustin Kelm in disguise).

Maybe it’s also worth mentioning, that Markku Koski from Finland won the bronze medal… :slight_smile:

yeah i watched it yesterday morning…his first run was his scoring one and it was total ass-kickage. he owned everyone else there…his closest comp. was an american and he even beat him by like 5 points.

Uh… Shaun White was an American…?

Yay Finland! :slight_smile:

woohoo!
go shaun white!

yeah i kno that…im just saying that his closest competitor was from the same country and he still own3d him too.

Mike Jankowski is a Memphian. He graduated from my alma mater, Christian Brothers High School. CBHS is quite strict and serious. Boys only. Everyone wears a tie. The brothers are the last ones to close the school for any reason. I remember having to go to school on days when the rest of Memphis was out because of snow. Mike graduated in 93. Memphis is warm and flat. He went to college in the Rocky Mountains and got into Snowboarding. He’s the coach of the Olympic snowboarding team. The principal (Brother Chris, I think) said that if we win a medal, he’ll shut the school for “snow day”.

Mike is now a local celebrity. A snow day for CBHS is a fitting tribute, I think.

-Mud out.

Oh, yeah.

YA SHAUN WHITE!!! 46.8 YA !!! :sunglasses: His run was sweet! So was his victory run.
