The final appearance of legend Shaun White and a very open women's Super G are on the Olympic program of the night.


Snowboard, men's half pipe final (2h30).

The American Shaun White, triple Olympic champion in the specialty, 4th in the qualifications won by the Japanese Ayumu Hirano (ahead of the Australian Scotty James), will live as he announced the last highlight of a crazy career.

"I will be ready for the finals and I will fight too," he summed up.

True to its legend.

Because if "some attach a snowboard to their feet, very few attach it to their soul", he told AFP.
