Shaun definitely made a incredible high flying COME BACK.

[@lunabelletheinsane]

Respect to the camera operators when Yuto Totsuka had to be taken off after that fall - the camera zoomed out immediately rather than focusing on him and they focused on the crowd and the coaches and officials in other areas rather than on the athlete. Mad mad respect to not show him in what was truly an agonizing moment for him both physically and mentally.

Thank you!

[@Obi-Wan_Kenobi]

Undoubtably the most nervous I've ever felt watching a sporting event in my entire life. They built this competition up so much and, against all odds, Shaun White overcame it all to deliver in the single most satisfying way possible! I'll never forget this fail gold of the greatest of all time, Shaun White!

Arguably the most memorable Olympic moment I’ve ever watched. Thank you Shaun for always being an inspiration to me. And congrats to Hirano for getting his. He is the future. After making the triple cork look easy, I can’t imagine what’s next for him.

[@ashleynicoledickerson8844]

I love that they put Shaun last in the runs because they know that everyone's really there to watch him

[@99anoushka]

He qualified with the highest score that's why he went last

when you qualify first you go last, or you go in reverse order of the qualifying results

15 or 16 years ago, after Shaun White won his first Olympic medals, I saw him in my local Target. As the rest of the shoppers realized it was him (hard to mistake his hair) everybody started staring and then clapping.

I would have loved for that. It would be the one highlight of my childhood I would never forget

I was there with my wife and kids. Unforgettable moments in my life watching one of the most beautiful and exciting winter Olympic sports.

You just know the younger guys trying to make a name in the sport have all been influenced by Shaun White and then they get to compete against him just to be reminded why he's a living legend.

Ayumu should have won the gold in 2018. well, it doesn't matter now since he won gold with the world's very first triple cork in 2022 Beijing and made history. Finally, the world saw who really is a TRUE KING of half pipe. shaun white was always overrated. Anyone who knows ins and outs of halfpipe, knows ayumu was always better than him, in terms of difficulty. FACTS. PS. I am not Japanese.

[@sunghyechoi8652]

I think Ayumu was doing MUCH MORE than "just trying to make name' for himself in this sport........

You do not understand how hard it is to be a competitive elite figure skater from Texas. I go all over the country and the world and compete for the USA and for Texas and all the other states make fun of my state for not producing good figure skaters. But I'm not the one crying when the girl from Texas gets first place and they get second. Go Texas.

Did he really win a medal? Can't make sense out of this overcrowded program on Peacock. I thought he took 4th. Worst Olympics I've ever seen. I miss the exciting games of Jean Killy and Billy Kid, even Eddie the Eagle is an improvement over Curling--the only sport I could get on Peacock with commentary to guide the viewer. Something is making the Olympics expendable.

This is the 2018 Olympics, you're talking about the 2022 Olympics on Peacock. Shaun won in 20218 but came in fourth in 2022.

R Soraya Not at all. The flag is a symbol of your country and is to be treated with respect. That’s why Congress passed a Flag Code in 1942 to help Americans understand the protocol on how it should be displayed. Dragging it is a big no-no.

[@jyotsnasingh8766]

IOC suspended India from organising any Olympic related games in India after Pakistan's shooters were not provided Visa to participate in shooting competition which is goin to take place in India. But IOC doesn't know what is the present situation between India & Pakistan. India lost 42 army men in cowardly attack claimed by JeM terrorist residing in Pakistan. India is putting stern measures against terrorism sponsoring and supporting Pakistan. May better sense prevail in the world community and understand the sensitivity of the situation.
