Shaun White wins Olympic gold, yet again

Shaun White claimed the third Olympic gold medal of his career, but not without quite a bit of drama.

The U.S. snowboarding star trailed Japan’s Ayumu Hirano entering his third and final run, but posted a 97.75 score, giving him gold.

This was his third career gold medal, coming after golds in Torino (2006) and Vancouver (2010), but did not make the podium in 2014 (Sochi).
