Description

”Combining elements of surfing, skateboarding and skiing, snowboard — one of the fastest growing sports — is a recent addition to the Olympic Winter Games.

The first official snowboard competition was held in Colorado in 1981.

Two snowboard events were introduced at the Nagano 1998 Winter Games — halfpipe and individual giant slalom. Parallel giant slalom replaced individual giant slalom at the Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic Winter Games and snowboard cross was introduced in 2006, at the Torino Olympic Winter Games.”

  There is no stopping Shaun White! I bet he has at least 3 more Winter Olympics in his future where he will still take the gold. Now if they would just make a halfpipe event for the Summer Olympics!
