American snowboarder Shaun White goes into the finals of the halfpipe at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games as the favorite, having topped qualification with a score of 98.50.
If he gets another gold, the high-flying Californian will be the first American man to win the same individual event at three different Winter Games. It would also be the 100th gold medal the U.S. has won in winter.
