Shaun White plans to compete in one event, not two, at the 2018 Winter Olympics.
The 2006 and 2010 Olympic halfpipe champion has dropped slopestyle from his repertoire and doesn’t think he’ll re-add it before the Winter Games in PyeongChang, which start in 400 days.
Remember, White tried to compete in both halfpipe and slopestyle at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. He withdrew from slopestyle on the eve of the Games and then finished fourth in halfpipe.
White competed in one slopestyle contest since Sochi, on March 4, and finished last.
“Slopestyle is just really not something I’m as interested in right now,” White said Thursday.
