Sucks IMO. There was no way he was going to win it, but now it will always be the people that believe he is the best snowboarder in the world (anyone that doesn't follow snowboarding basically) saying that it was an easy victory for whoever wins it. Canada, Norway and the US all have riders in it that could easily take the gold wether he was there or not.

I agree. Shaun White is a very good snowboarder but to say he's the best.. I dunno about that. There are so many different competitions that it's hard to say one person is the best snowboarder period. I think he would have quite the competition for this year's slope style at the winter olympics. I do enjoy watching him though so I hope he puts on a good show at the half pipe event.
Rooting for mcmorris, parrot and toutant. Hoping at least one of them will bring home a gold for Canada.
“The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's a very mean and nasty place... and I don´t care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently, if you let it. You, me or nobody, is gonna hit as hard as life. But ain't about how hard you hit... It's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward... how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That´s how winning is done. Now, if you know what you worth, go out and get what you worth.” - Rocky Balboa
I don't think it's far fetched to say white is the best in the half pipe
I remember leading up to the medal round in Vancouver he was soooo hyped that I was like Hah..ok let's see what he can do
He MURDERED the gold effortlessly. I watched a tonne of events throughout the games and there was no one who locked in a gold as well as he did and lived up to all the hype and more imo Posted via RS Mobile

Anyone who has understanding of snowboarding knows he isn't the best, or close to the best snowboarder as he's one dimensional as it gets, but thats the general publics idea. The guy is nothing more than a brand like Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. Posted via RS Mobile
it was done to protect the cabinets and appliances already installed
That wasn't the case in Whistler. I bought one of the units in Whistler's Athletes Village. Our Athletes Village was finished well ahead of schedule. My current kitchen are was the common space with a temporary wall turning my "now living room" into a second bedroom. . After the Olympics the temporary wall was taken down, the kitchen cabinets and appliances were installed and everything was re-painted. It's well built and a relative bargain. I couldn't be happier! It's truly an Olympic Legacy. (for me anyways)

For slopestyle I was predicting McMorris, Horgmo and White/Parrot for the top three. With Horgmo out due to his CB injury and White backing out to likely focus on Halfpipe, I see McMorris, Parrot and Toots having good chances all around.
2 things hockey players on the road share rooms and some hotels in parts of Europe don't have shower curtains. I was in a $300 a night hotel In Paris France and it had no shower curtain. Had to use my body to block the water.

Thank you x 1000.
In all my years of snowboarding, you're the only person who I've heard say this about Shaun White. Posted via RS Mobile

Sooooo true. SW is good, but he's nowhere near the best IMO.
Man CBC's streaming app and site SUCKS. CTV's was so much better in 2010. My iPad keeps freezing in the app, the site tells you all kinds of results while you're trying to navigate to the videos you want to watch. Last time I checked I don't want to know who won/qualified before watching the video. Quite disappointing.
