White magic at Olympics as winds blow Shiffrin off-course


By AFPMore by this AuthorPYEONGCHANGSnowboarding great Shaun White sealed his Olympic legendary status with a breathtaking run under pressure on Wednesday, as strong winds played havoc with the ski schedule and Mikaela Shiffrin's bid for multiple medals. White, Chloe Kim, Jamie Anderson and Red Gerard have locked up all four snowboarding titles for America so far in Pyeongchang. While White celebrated at Phoenix Park, it was a very different story at Yongpyong Alpine Centre where high winds forced the women's slalom to be postponed until Friday. With the women's giant slalom and slalom delayed until Thursday and Friday respectively, the skiing schedule is increasingly packed until the end of the Games. But officials said they had no concerns about fitting in all the ski events, which include another 10 gold medal races before the closing ceremony on February 25.
