For the second time this season, Shaun White was injured in a snowboarding crash.

The two-time Olympic gold medalist posted a photo to Instagram (shown below) on Saturday with a gash on his forehead.

“I’ve always lived my life by pushing the limits,” White wrote. “Winning is great, but it’s the tough times that truly define you. I took a slam while training the other day, but don’t worry I’ll be back soon and better than ever!!”

White withdrew from the Winter Games NZ, a FIS World Cup event, in September after a crash in practice for the event sent him to the hospital.
