Early this morning, February 5, world renowned snowboarder Shaun White decided to drop out of the Sochi Winter Olympic inaugural slopestyle competition. He did this in part because of a jammed wrist he suffered the day before, which is a significant injury for a snowboarder. His other reason was that the jumps on the slopestyle course are particularly large and dangerous, so White wanted to remain healthy in order to defend his 2-time gold medal in the halfpipe competition. Fellow snowboarder Torstein Horgmo, or Norway, is very awesome and he broke his collarbone Monday on the slopestyle course. I personally think White should've stayed in the slopestyle event because he was a favorite for double gold in that and the halfpipe.
