Shaun White has been the biggest name in snowboarding since he attended his first Olympics and won his first gold medal 16 years ago.
Since winning on the halfpipe at Torino 2006, the American superstar — long known as "The Flying Tomato" — has won two additional Olympic gold medals and competed in four more Olympic Games.

Now, at the 2022 Beijing Olympics, White is competing in his final event and hoping to win one last medal before riding off into the sunset.
In honor of White's last professional snowboarding competition, check out photos from each Olympic Games of his illustrious career:
He won gold on the halfpipe in his debut.
Four years later, White traveled to Vancouver looking to repeat as champion of the halfpipe.
He pulled it off, landing a historic Double McTwist 1260 to secure his spot atop the podium in 2010.
After that, it was on to Sochi 2014, where he looked to make history as the only man to win the same event three consecutive times in winter olympics history.
But he couldn't manage the three-peat and missed the podium entirely with a fourth-place finish.
White went to Pyeongchang in 2018 looking for redemption.
And he got it in spectacular fashion, mounting a come-from-behind victory against all odds to win his third Olympic gold.
Now, White's looking to tie a perfect bow atop his illustrious snowboarding career in Beijing.
He's through to the finals, but he'll need to pull off the rides of his life to beat opponents Ayumu Hirano, Yuto Totsuka, and Scotty James to the top prize.
