Sean White Olympics 2010 and Shaun White Olympics 2010. The men’s halfpipe competition was won by Shaun White. He bagged the gold medal at Cypress Mountain in front of thousands of fans. This was his first run score of 46.8. Besides, he also created history as his back-to-back Olympic gold medals.
Shaun White's gold-medal coronation in the halfpipe finals at the Winter Olympics was marred Wednesday by vulgar statements made by coach Bud Keene and aired on NBC live to the East Coast prior to White's final run.
The other player to throw a challenge to him was Peetu Piiroinen of Finland. He put some pressure on White during the competition with a second run score of 45.0. He ended up with the silver medal.
The third position was occupied by Scotty Lago of the United States. He used a big first run to win the bronze medal. It was a surprise win.
White was the last to go, but since nobody had beat his score from the first round, he was the automatic winner. There was much joy and celebration atop the run, as there should have been. Unfortunately, a few of those words were picked up by NBC cameras:
At first there were whoops of celebration. But then things got a little R-rated.

Keene: What do you want to do?"
White: "I don't know man. Ride down the middle?"
(Chorus of nos)
Keene: No, have some fun.
White: Drop a double mick?
Keene: Yeah, drop a double mick at the end. Do whatever you want and [expletive] send that thing. Make sure you stomp the [expletive] out of that thing.
