Four times an Olympian. Three times a gold medalist in halfpipe. His third run at the Phoenix Snow Park on Wednesday was, according to some, the best the sport has ever seen and a crowning moment in White’s storied career.
At a press conference here after his gold-medal run, White was asked about — and brushed off — a question about a sexual harassment lawsuit he settled two years ago.
When the reporter tried to ask a follow-up question, a U.S. Ski and Snowboard representative tried to shut down the question.
“I think we’re here to talk about the gold medal and the amazing day we had today,” the spokesman said.
