Billy Morgan says Shaun White has ‘got what it takes’ to win fourth Olympic gold at Beijing 2022

Shaun White has “got what it takes” to win a fourth Olympic gold medal at Beijing 2022, according to Billy Morgan. Having announced that this will be his final Olympic Games, White has one shot at topping the podium for a fourth time in the men’s halfpipe event. The American first won gold at Torino 2006, repeating the feat at Vancouver 2010 and Pyeongchang 2018 either side of a fourth-placed finish at Sochi 2014.

Ad/> Morgan, who was a bronze medalist in the big air with Team GB at Pyeongchang 2018, feels there’s little doubt that White can extend his winning streak in Beijing, even if, at 35 years of age, he faces stiff competition from the next generation of Olympic snowboarders.

But the next generation coming through, they are very, very good.

So, you know, anything can happen. But he can do it.” Speaking in the Eurosport Cube, Morgan gave some insight into White’s technique and how it has enabled him to become a three-time Olympic champion. “At the peak of Shaun White’s jump, this is where he really shines,” he said.
