Shaun White

you know show up to the event and like you know the pipe's not built for the first two days because it was a really bad winter so it was pretty dry and like they're like oh there's only one day of practice like literally like all these weird things like i show up for this practice session and then the the machine that builds the half pipes broke oh i flew to canada and then the canada like a giant storm blew in and then i was like okay well we gotta go back to mammoth mountains i go fly to mammoth mountain i got there and um i got really ill i just got a flu or something and

So all these weird things kept me.

Literally, it's two weeks away at this point.

And you still haven't done the trick.

I haven't done.

I did the trick like twice, I think.

I finally just like got it done.

But I hadn't done like repetition.

And I hadn't, you know, it's a routine.

So you would do a trick into that trick into another trick.

I hadn't done it.

And I'm flying to the Olympics like, well, I guess we'll just do it when we get there.

Not until the second run.

Oh, my gosh.

That's the first time I ever tried that run.

So, of course, I fell.

And now, deja vu, I'm sitting where I was at the last Olympics.

Last guy to go.

There's one more run.

And I was just like, I want to win this.
