Shaun White expected for X Games after missing Laax Open

Shaun White indicated he will compete in snowboarding for the first time in nearly three years at next week’s Winter X Games.

“Gearing up for XGames pretty excited about it!” was posted on his Instagram on Monday.

The comment came after White’s name was taken off the entry list for this week’s Laax Open in Switzerland.

“Decided not to compete at Laax because all the variables traveling during Covid,” was posted on White’s Instagram. “I decided to stay in the US and focus my efforts on X games!”

White competed on snow at the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics, winning his third gold medal.
