Shaun White comes from behind to win third gold medal in men's halfpipe
Shaun White came from behind in spectacular, jaw-dropping fashion to take home his third gold medal in the men's halfpipe. It was the end of a hard-fought road to redemption for White, who failed to medal in Sochi after back-to-back golds in 2006 and 2010. White's win was also historic on two fronts: it marked the United States' 100th gold medal overall at the Winter Games, and it made White the first American man to win three golds in a single event at the Winter Olympics. It wasn't all good for White at the Olympics though, as he brushed off questions about the sexual harassment allegations against him outlined in a 2016 lawsuit.
