Snowboarding superstar Shaun White’s attempt to lock up a spot on a fifth Olympic team remains a work in progress.

The setback was the latest in a series of them for White since he returned to the sport following a three-year sabbatical after his dramatic final-run triumph in Korea in 2018. “ just wants to train and keep working hard and keep getting better,” Jankowski said. “He's hoping the spot where he's at now holds solid and that he's able to get the nomination to the team.”
Wise's ability to drill a run when he absolutely needed it — with a crowd of supports that included his parents, his wife and his two children as well as friends who made the three-hour trip from the Reno, Nevada, area — made his third Olympic appearance all the sweeter. Two-time Olympic gold medalist Jamie Anderson will get a shot at a three-peat in women’s snowboard slopestyle. Anderson, who also earned a silver in Big Air in Korea in 2018, will head to China with some momentum after edging Zoi Sadowski Synnott of New Zealand in the slopestyle final on Saturday.
Defending halfpipe champion Chloe Kim leads the women's team snowboard halfpipe team. The 21-year-old Kim soared to gold as a teenager in Korea and like White a decade ago, has become the standard-bearer for her sport, winning five straight events heading up to Beijing.
