Shaun White’s recent crash in New Zealand left him with facial injuries requiring 62 stitches and bruised lungs, the snowboarder said in a video sent to the TODAY Show on Wednesday.
The two-time Olympic gold medalist had been expected to make the trip to New York for the 100 days out events but is instead recovering in Los Angeles.
“I’m really sad and bummed that I couldn’t be there today for the 100 days out,” he said. “I don’t know if you can tell from my face, but most recently I took a bad crash while I was training in New Zealand.
