Sean White – Suddenly a millionaire at the age of 15

“I realized that my life would never be the same again. I started partying and drinking alcohol,” the snowboarding legend recalls.

“I started to fear that I wouldn’t achieve anything again, so I started focusing on snowboarding again. The victories brought me happiness, they became an addiction, and you could never have too many. I wanted to keep moving forward,” said White, who also won a gold medal at the next Olympic Games. in Vancouver in 2010, but then had to settle for fourth place at the 2014 Sochi Olympics.

“Life’s plans don’t always line up with mine,” concluded White, who suffered a heavy fall in New Zealand a few months before the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics. He had to have 62 stitches on his face. Although, fortunately, there was no broken bone, the doctors recommended to refrain from training and competitions for a while. The fall caused White more psychological than physical difficulties, but it did not prevent him from winning his third Olympic gold medal.

Having become a three-time Olympic champion, White did not give up hope of winning a fourth gold medal by participating in the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games. “It got a lot harder. I’m not jumping as fast as I used to. If I win the next Olympics, I can finish my career. It’s not just finishing my career, it’s leaving a big part of my identity,” White reasoned.

This year saw the release of a four-episode documentary film “Shaun White: The Last Run” (Shaun White: The Last Run), which tells the story of the twists and turns of the legendary snowboarder’s career, as well as his last trip to the 2022 Beijing Olympics, where he was forced to settle for fourth place . All four episodes of the film can be watched on “LMT Smart TV”.
