In Shaun White’s farewell performance, Ayumu Hirano of Japan won an elusive Olympic gold in the halfpipe with a boundary-pushing final run.

Shaun White finished third at the Laax Open in Switzerland, marking his first podium finish since he won his third Olympic gold medal in 2018 and all but cementing his spot at next month’s games in Beijing.

Shaun White will have to wait at least one more week to get an inside track on a trip to his fourth Olympics after an eighth-place finish at the season’s first qualifying event.
