Last night was a great moment in Winter Olympics history. And the most fun I had watching the Olympics this year thus far. It was so incredible to see Shaun White in the finals for halfpipe, and I found it amazing that he still manages to blow us away after all these years.
In his first run in the finals he killed it, getting a score of 46.8, more than 4 points above the second place snowboarder (that may seem like not that big of a gap, but it is!). And then, after finding out he won without even doing his second run, he blew us away again by performing a brand new trick he invented. And then proceeded to get a score of 48.4. Phenomenal. The roommates and I were screaming and yelling during his runs. And it made me happy to see how genuinely surprised and excited that he won. I like him even more now. (Not to mention how much air he gets! Whoa!)
You can watch both of his runs at the link below! If you haven't seen it, then you NEED to watch it.

I only wish Louie Vito would have medaled. I loved him on Dancing with the Stars. Haha
